Today in the second grade, we:

• observed the first week of advent and were updated on our house points during our weekly assembly
• took our weekly spelling quiz, practiced identifying and pronouncing consonant blends with "str," "sp," and "sn," and practiced using our idiom of the week: "Feeling Blue"  in reading and phonics class
• identified plane shapes (triangles, circles, rectangles, squares, hexagons, and trapezoids) in math class
• took our unit 3 quiz in science class
• during ECA, we brainstormed ideas for this week's sharing time and listened to and discussed some more of our current story
  

Tonight's Homework:

• Complete the reading response on "Color Shows Mood" and check the rubric (in your child's assignment book.) 
• Read aloud for 15 minutes and have a parent sign your reading log.
