We had an amazing week in 2G! Please enjoy these highlights of our studies:
Morning Meeting: We are now in full swing of our morning meeting routine. To kick off our share portion of the meeting, our vice principal, Mr. Rosenshine shared a picture of when he was in second grade! We have had 2 amazing student shares and we look forward to many more.
Math: Rows, Columns, Number lines, oh, my! Mathematicians learned to count in an organized way this week. We are working on keeping track of our counting using one-to-one correspondance on a number line. To celebrate all of our hard work, we played a favorite game of "Tens Go Fish" on Friday!
Writing: 2Gers are working on handwriting and holding pencils correctly during these first few weeks of school. Writers completed wonderful sentences about what they would like to be when they grow up. Coming soon to a bulletin board near you!
Social Studies: Mrs. Gomes introduced an "About Me Collage" on Monday and students created amazing posters of their own. Each student has presented his/her collage and we learned so much about one another. In addition, we began our study of maps as we looked at our classroom from a bird's eye view.
Fundations: Students learned about the digraphs, "th", "ch", "sh", "ck", and "wh" this week. We enjoyed many activities that helped us understand how to use these digraphs appropriately. Tapping out our sounds on our fingers as we spell helps with sound recognition.
Literacy: Readers have been learning about "Just Right" books to read during D.E.A.R. time (Drop Everything And Read time). We heard two beautiful stories by Patricia Polacco, The Keeping Quilt and Thank you, Mr. Falker. Patricia Polacco writes about her personal experiences and we made several connections to our own stories after each reading.
Homework: Students will receive a homework packet this week that will come home on Tuesday (after the holiday). The whole red folder with the homework packet should be returned to Mrs. Gomes on Friday. 2G students did an amazing job practicing their homework in class last week.
Keep up the great work!
Have a wonderful week.
