Rooted in Reading - Looking at Lincoln

I stepped out from my comfort zone and purchased Rooted in Reading for February.  I heard a lot of buzz and wanted to try this for myself.  I love the amount of activities and the organization of the unit.  I am learning what I can fit in and what I can't.  You can find the Rooted in Reading sets in Amy Lemon's TPT Store: "Step into Second Grade."

I am very pleased so far with the unit!  Here are some pictures from today's directed drawing.  After their drawings were complete, they began their informational writing about Abraham Lincoln.  I forgot to snap pictures of their writing!  I blame that on the "New blogger syndrome!"  I also have had many parents comment to me about how much their children are coming home and sharing what we have learned and beginning to research questions at home! I was thrilled to hear that!
