Dear Parents,
Unfortunately I ended up with the flu and was out Monday-Wednesday. I really missed my class but was able to secure a former second grade CRE teacher as my sub so I know for sure they were in expert hands. In math we continued with measurement. We measured lengths in metrics units. We used reasoning while measuring and measured 2 to 3 segments to get a total measurement. We reviewed and took our assessment on Friday.
In writing we revised our imaginative paper after seeing examples of how we could vary our sentence length and add details of showing emotions or character gestures. We learned about verbs- present, past, and future tenses. We then made sure our stories stayed in one verb tense. On Thursday and Friday we learned about who veterans are and how we are soon going to honor them on Veterans Day. We wrote an acrostic poem using the word veteran.
In reading we listened to the story I Need a Monster on Monday and made a story map. We also read A Crow, a Mouse, a Lion, Oh My! We looked at the elements of drama and took a reading checkpoint over it. We looked at figurative language in the story Hollywood Chicken.
In Science we did a talk, read, talk, write activity about magnets. We used marbles and paint to show how we could apply force in different ways to change the motion of a marble. On Thursday and Friday we experimented with several objects to describe their motion down a ramp. Did they spin, roll, or slide? We also looked at the physical characteristics of the objects and discussed how they affected the movement.
*We are completely out of classroom snacks. If you would like to donate some individually packaged goldfish for the children who forget theirs it would be appreciated.
*Good Afternoon CRE Families!
