What a Wonderful Week!

9/23/2012

 
Happy Fall, 2G Families!  Please enjoy these highlights of our week:
Fundations:  We focused on "c", "k", and "ck" sounds and how they are used.  Ask your child about the fun way we use whiteboards to help with our spelling in 2G!
Math:  Line 'em up!  Mathematicians used number lines to solve addition and subtraction problems.  In addition, we played the math game, "cover up".  This is a great game to play at home....your math expert can teach you.  
Writing Workshop:  Students are working on forming letters and holding pencils correctly.  They are knocking my socks off with all of their hard work!
Literacy:  Readers were introduced to three different Literacy centers this week - "Read the Room", "Buddy Read", and "Making Words".  We also enjoyed two new books by Patricia Polacco, When Lightning Comes in a Jar, and Aunt Chip and the Great Trip Creek Dam Affair.  
Computer Lab:  Students had a blast creating their own "word clouds" that describe things about themselves.  
Science:  We're rockin' and rollin' - literally!  Scientists began their study of Motion this week.  We explored how a marble moves on a foam track with a partner.  As we discussed our findings, we learned new vocabulary to help describe what we see.  We even got official science logs to use when recording our findings!
Have a great week.
