Dear Families~
This week in 2nd grade, we did some major digging into nonfiction text features and The Water Cycle! I am so proud of your kiddos and their hard work.
We became text feature surgeons by suiting up in surgical masks and gloves to "cut" out text features from a text. They then had to diagnose the text features by answering questions from the text features in a Google Form all while earning cooperation chips! They were AMAZING! Mr. Hobbs and Mrs. Johnson visited and joined in on the fun!
So this is why there were rubber gloves and a surgical mask in your child's book bag:)
We also dove into the world of science with The Water Cycle. Enjoy this song below! ALERT!!!! Don't let your 2nd grader hear it or you will be listening to them sing it all day! Also, remember I listened to it HUNDREDS of time this week and that means I totally deserve a homemade chocolate chip cookie or other delicious baked good-wink, wink:)
On Friday, we made it RAIN in class!!!! The class did an amazing job with our cloud science experiment. Even if there was a fire drill right in the middle of it...
They created their own diagram and caption to go along with our nonfiction text feature study and our informational writing unit.
In math, we worked on open number lines. The students solved double digit addition and subtraction problems using 10 and 1 hops on a number line.
Here is an example video below.
Many of the students are able to now do these equations in their head. Hello~Mental Math!
Here is a fantastic number line for your kiddos to practice online. Just click the image!
You can also download a copy of this week's math practice sheets HERE. If you want a paper copy just send me an email and I will get you one.
We have 21 second graders and 2 teachers.
Classroom needs: We are in need of the following items if you are interested:
Dum Dum Lollipops
