The children covered so much ground this week in 2nd grade!
* We practiced writing detailed reader's responses! We know to include favorite parts, feelings about the characters, connections to our lives, or a summary of events describing who, what, where, when, and why!
* We set a reading goal for ourselves! Many of our first reading goals were about behaviors that will help us become focused readers, including choosing good fit books, finding a quiet spot to read free of distractions, and to read carefully and purposefully!
* We practiced comparing 3 digit numbers using the words greater than and less than, as well as the symbols <, >. We also identified number patterns and continued them. We have reached the end of chapter 1, and we will be reviewing and taking the test on this chapter early next week.
* We learned the "Continent Song" and practiced locating these large bodies of land on the map
* We celebrated Michael Z's star student week with a Dr. Suess story about the human body, and a fun experiment that blended colors!
* We practiced making words in the ay, ug, ap, ip, and aw families! Even though these words share letters, they do not necessarily share sounds. The children enjoyed working with a partner to make as many words as they could that fit into these word families.
* We are almost finished with our autobiography rough drafts! We are now writing about our lives in the present day. Next we will be editing, publishing, and illustrating our work!
