Mean Jean, The Recess Queen

Today my kids listened intently to the great word choice in The Recess Queen.  I just love this book and for 2nd graders - it really hits home. Spurred lots of conversation! 

After hearing and talking about Mean Jean, my students brainstormed all the adjectives they could think of to describe Jean and made a Thinking Map. They already know - if we're describing we use a Bubble Map! 

Check out their drawings of and adjectives about Mean Jean!
