It has been a busy and cold week here in second grade. Can you believe Wednesday marked the 100th day of school?! Our class studied the value of 100 in many different ways this week. Friday marks the celebration of Kansas Day. Our class will rotate between 6 different classrooms through the morning, participating in activities related to our state of Kansas.
Students continue to learn various types of poetry in Writer's Workshop; the final poem they have learned is the free verse poem. We will wrap up this unit next week with a final project highlighting each student's favorite acrostic, free verse, cinquain, couplet, and shape poems. After we wrap up poems, we will spend some time writing personal narratives and descriptive writing. We will focus on the 6 traits of writing.
In math we continue to work on subtracting two digit numbers. Next week, we will continue to practice and review the strategies we have been working on in class.
We will finish our study of weather next week... wrapping up with thunder and lightening! We will take out weather assessment on Monday February 8th. The next focus in social studies will cover famous African Americans. We will spend some time reading the book The Drinking Gourd and studying the significance of the underground railroad.
