Wednesday's News

It was a hot, summer-like day in second grade today!  This week second grade students continue their immigration unit, including learning about the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and what immigrants might have experienced coming to America.  Click on the link for a virtual tour of Ellis Island created by Scholastic!
In math, our focus is on understanding place value (groups of hundreds, tens, and ones) and addition/subtraction facts up to 20.  Students are working at an individualized level on these skills and concepts, working in small groups with the teacher and completing independent practice.  Check out these online math fact games for extra practice:
