Today in the second grade, we:

• reviewed our weekly target vocabulary and practiced identifying and pronouncing words with the "nd" and "st" consonant blends in reading and phonics class
• took turns sharing information about where we were born during our weekly sharing time and continued our cursive writing unit in language and spelling class
• continued to practice our dance moves in dance class
• identified different adaptations that plants and animals have developed to survive and thrive in their environments in science class
• we also found time to finish the end of "Chocolate Fever," complete our letters to Bear or Little Brown Squirrel, and read our first letters from our pen pals in Canada!
