Today in the second grade, we:

• edited sentences with capitalization and punctuation errors, worked on our outline for Friday's sharing time, and continued our handwriting unit in language and spelling class
• used strategies (looking for key words, drawing out each step, working backwards) to solve word problems in math class
• shared our letters to the mayor and discussed the role that courts and judges play in our government in social studies class
• continued to work on our designs for the egg drop challenge in science class
• practiced September's class poem and worked on our first quarter word collages during ECA

We will test our designs tomorrow!

The Q1 word walls are coming along well.

Tonight's Homework:

• Complete Science Fusion pg. 55-56. If the students have trouble, they are encouraged to complete what they can, and I will help them with the rest tomorrow.

• Read aloud for 15 minutes and have a parent sign your reading log.

• Complete the outline for Friday's sharing time (the students have already started this and some are finished.)

Announcements:

 

The G2 students are doing a marvelous job of keeping up with their reading logs! I'm so proud of their daily reading habits, and grateful for your support. I have received comprehension sheets (in the back of your child's R.E.D. folder) from almost every student. I have encouraged the students to complete 2-3 of these worksheets every week. Keep up the good work!
