Snow Day Productions--Common Core Language Unit!

I'm happy to announce the birth of my 3rd Language Practice to Mastery! Unit.  That's what I call a productive snow day. :)  I didn't do it ALL today...it's been a while in the making.  My second graders LOVE these packets!  They actually say, "This is fun, Mrs. Shirley!"  We call them our Owl Packets.  They are making us wise owls!  I hope your second graders are enjoying them and learning from them, too!  Let your colleagues know there's a product out there that's more than just an assessment--there's a way to master these Common Core standards!  I keep my students' packets in data binders as proof of mastery.  Let me know how they're working for your kiddos!
