We had a busy and productive day Monday in second grade! We began our day observing the full moon in the morning sky with Mrs. Stanley's class and discussing our recent observations of October's full moon. We also worked with Mrs. Hochstrasser, our reading and math specialist. She will be coming in every other Monday to review math and literacy skills. Yesterday she brought the Chromebook laptops and students played the math game
Kakooma with a partner!
In writing workshop, we learned about rereading our writing and making plans to revise our work. Writers added interesting punctuation, such as exclamation points
! and ellipsis
... to add excitement and suspense.
Also, we read a story called Fairy Houses by Tracy Kane. Some children were very eager to build their own fairy houses at recess yesterday! Your child might want to check out the
author's website to see photographs of fairy houses that others have created.
In the afternoon, we read Scholastic News and learned about autumn in different communities (urban, suburban, and rural). Here's the
link to the digital copy and the video we watched about communities.
Have a great week!
