Today in the second grade, we:

• celebrated Beryl being one of the "Angels of the Week" during our weekly assembly 
• took our weekly spelling quiz and took turns sharing in front of the class in language and spelling class 
• continued to work with fractions in math class 
• continued to work with vowel pairs ("oo" and "ea" specifically) in reading and phonics class 
• discussed the meaning of "history" and where to find a variety of sources in social studies class 

Well done, Beryl! Thank you for your sweet help.
