The Best Week in 2nd Grade! By Jennifer

We did so much at school this week! We had art class. We made haunted houses. We made them on paper, using paper shapes. We also went to the library! We got to choose 2 books. We learned how the library works and where to find different books with Mrs. Dufern. In music class we learned our school song!

In our class we are listening to a read-aloud story called Superfudge! Our class read a story together in our reading books about Mr. Putter and Tabby.  We practiced describing the beginning, the middle, and the end of the story.  We also worked on our Daily 5 stations. We learned how to practice our spelling words during word work. We wrote them on cards and put them in ABC order. We also did spelling buddies this week where we quizzed a buddy on their words using slates.

In writing we started writing our very own autobiographies! We are writing all about our life as a baby and then a pre-schooler. We will work more on these next week.  In math we practiced counting money, worked with the hundreds chart, and completed number grid puzzles!

In social studies, we made awesome landform murals. They show all the different kinds of land we learned about! They are hanging in the hallway!

We practiced the 7 continents and 4 oceans. We also reviewed our 4 homes~ North America, the United States, Illinois, and Arlington Heights.

We had a great week!
Have a nice weekend!
