Today in the second grade, we:

• were updated on our house points and presented the theme of "Courtesy" during our weekly assembly
• took our weekly spelling quiz, practiced identifying and pronouncing consonant blends with "bl" and "pl," and practiced using our idiom of the week: "Walking On Air"  in reading and phonics class
• wrote number sentences, found patterns, and drew pictures to represent equations in math class
• learned more about the continents and oceans and started creating creative replicas of our foreign passports in social studies class
• practiced for the language festival and listened to and discussed some more of our current story

Tonight's Homework:

• Complete a non-fiction book report of "Super Storms" from Journeys pg. 226-244 and check the rubric (in your child's assignment book.)
