🔎📚 Our 2nd Grade Word Detectives have been busy building their vocabularies!

Students first brainstormed their own lists of words featuring blends and digraphs. Then, they put on their teamwork hats and circulated the room, collaborating with classmates to share ideas and “borrow” new words to add to their lists! 📝✨

Learning together makes vocabulary even more fun! 🐾💚
