Famous American Research

Dear Parents,

     This week in 2nd grade we focused on the word 
RESEARCH!  
The class spent time exploring both text and online articles written about famous Americans. They each chose a famous American to research and write a report on.  I was amazed at how excited they became and how independent they were about recording information about their American! 

     Check out Pebble Go on our MGSD Digital resource page at home.  It is a fantastic place for students to research topics in science, social, studies and many more! 

     We also learned what a biography is and how the nonfiction text features that have been studying make their way into that type of text too! 

     In math,  we jumped into double digit addition with regrouping.  The first day or two were a bit rocky but by day 3 we were regrouping like champs. Check out this video we made in class! 

     Here is a link to download some practice sheets for home!  This is a great way for your 2nd grader to "teach" you the skill that they are learning in class. If you need a paper copy, let me know! 

     I also had no idea we had this AMAZING!!!!!! nature trail at Park View!  We took advantage of the good weather and made a few little hikes enjoying the trail and the pretty trees!
