Busy little bees in 2nd Grade! By Gianna

We learned about landforms. We learned about the 7 continents and the 5 oceans! The oceans we learned are the Indian, Pacific, Atlantic, Arctic and the Southern Ocean. We also learned about maps and globes! Maps are a flat picture of the earth, while a globe is a model of the earth, only smaller. We learned that the compass rose has all of the directions- north, east, south, and west! A silly sentence to help us remember that is "Never Eat Squirmy Worms!" We went to the LMC this afternoon and learned all about where the different kinds of books are located. We checked out books for the first time today. We get two books this year! We have also been learning about the Daily 5 centers. Yesterday we learned about word work and how to use the computer as a listening center in our classroom! See? We are hard at work! Have a nice day! Gianna
