We have had a busy week here in second grade. We are officially off to a busy start! I hope your second graders have been telling you about the Daly 5 language structure in our classroom. It has been quite an experience to look around and see all 21 of my students actively engaged and truly enjoying reading and writing. They are loving being able to make choices in thier learning. We will resume reading groups Monday January 25th; this start has been pushed back a few days due to our snow days. We were more than eager this week to finally make it outside for recess.
In math we have finished studying about volume and our current unit covers subtracting larger number. This is a really important unit, and we will spend much time in class practicing. We have been learning how to subtract with base 10 pieces, tallies, pictures, and will begin paper pencil soon!
Our current study in writing is poetry. We have been making shape poems, acrostic poems, and cinquain poems this week.
In science we continue to explore various types of weather. We have been using the Beaufort scale to measure wind strength and have been studing the components of the water cycle this week. We continue to log weather observations every day!
Reminders:
-Book order due January 26th
-Weather homework due January 28th (Will send home on the 21st)
-Kansas Day is January 29th
