Adults gathered around tables covered with red-and-white checkered tablecloths serving themselves a casual buffet of hot dogs or sausages, buns, and condiments. One person places items into containers while another serves from a platter. Shelving with books and binders is visible in the background, and a banner reads "WE ♥ OUR TEACHERS & STAFF!"

What a fun day in 2nd grade! Our students had a blast during Text Feature Surgery — cutting apart flyers, labels, and pages to identify headings, captions, bold words, and more. 🩺📚✂️

They practiced reading like detectives, labeled each text feature, and explained how those features help readers find important information. So proud of their teamwork and curiosity! 🌟

Ask your 2nd grader: Which text feature helped you the most today? 👇📖🧠
