Dear Parents,
This week we finished up our unit on multiplication as repeated addition, division as repeated subtraction as well as the concept of odd and even numbers. We ended our week beginning our unit on hundreds, tens and ones written as word form, expanded form, standard form and shown through models. We also added missing numbers to a number line.
In writing we are continuing to create a book using the author Ezra Jack Keats as our mentor. We are showing our feelings and actions through detail as well as word choice. We are designing the setup of our book by choosing where the words and pictures go on each page. We are having so much fun being authors and illustrators!
In reading we were focusing on drama and its 7 elements. Next week we hope to perform our reader’s theater play of the Gingerbread Man. We had a few children out sick and did not want them to miss this opportunity!
In science we finished up our unit on Rocks by taking our closing in on science vocabulary quiz and our unit test was taken on Friday! This was a unit we truly enjoyed. Students still spend their recess time looking for rocks and describing them with their physical properties.
We had a wonderful experience this week with Mrs. Wall, our school technologist. We embarked on a mystery hangout adventure with another second grade classroom from somewhere across the USA. We asked each other geographical based questions until we discovered in what state the other classroom was located. We lost rock paper scissors to ask the opening question, but were the first to discover their state. It was Illinois!
*We are collecting $3 from each student for the winter party to pay for their supplies and snacks

- In the Friday folder is a flyer. We are collecting personal hygiene items to donate to a local shelter. Please send in things you feel you can donate. What a wonderful community outreach for our students to learn about helping others.
