On a test day in class I found a very interesting field artifact that I truly thought was an awesome idea! So when my cooperating teacher told the students to put everything on their desks away except for their pencil and their mini office, I was surprised to find that a second grade student’s office really can be mini! This mini office was a great resource for students while taking tests. In my second grade class the kids were starting to learn how to write not only stories but also answer short essay questions. In their mini office it gave them a few different checklists to go through to make sure they remember all of the different important points. So as they unfolded there mini office made of two manila folders taped together, I could not help but to take a peek and see what was inside.
At the top there was the alphabet both lower case and uppercase just in case they needed a little help. Then there were 5 different checklists. The checklists were; Revise and Edit, Writing, Punctuation, Story Words, and How to Write a Paragraph. I really liked this artifact because it was a great resource for the students to follow. I think that second grade is very busy with a lot of information that students need to remember. This mini office is a great way to keep them independent but still help them remember all of the important details. This way students will not lose points because of silly mistakes and it will help them practice for writing essays and papers in the future.
