We've had a great week in second grade! We are continuing to review number and time concepts in math. This week we worked with two-digit numbers and focused on the concepts of greater/less than and odd/even. Students created "super sorter machines" and sorted numbered balls as they traveled through the "pipes". We began working with our literacy program this week (Treasures). Students read the story "David's New Friends" about a boy who nervously starts school but ends up making an unlikely friend with the class pet lizard. We discussed character and setting and students worked on answering comprehension questions. A skill we are going to focus on and develop this year is restating the question in our answer.
Reminders:
Exciting News!
I am pleased to announce that Ms. Kristen Vocatura will be my long-term substitute while I am out on maternity leave. Ms. Vocatura is a familiar face in the building. She has been a substitute here in the past and last year completed her student teaching in Mrs. Owen's second grade class. Please help me welcome her to our classroom at next week's Open House! Have a wonderful weekend! ~Mrs. D
