Meet the Experts!

Dear Families,

It was another busy week in second grade!  Today our class participated in the PBIS assembly about Cooperation by presenting the Russian folk dance they will be presenting at Wednesday's  Winter Music Program.  Hope to see you all there!

This week we completed our Nonfiction reading unit.  Each child chose a topic that they wanted to be tour guides of.  They thought about the important parts they wanted to teach and marked them with post-its.  Then they shared their expertise with Mrs. Cooper's fifth grade.


Writing: We continue to write nonfiction information books. This week children worked on setting goals and helping readers picture information by adding description. 

Math: We continue to work on using the open number line to subtract.  This week we practiced subtracting two-digit numbers. 

Today we enjoyed a second presentation about Japan from Lizzie & Henry Clark's grandmother, Mrs. Sue Clark. Mrs. Hockenbury's joined us as we explored a map of Japan, listened to A Tree of Cranes, learned about Origami and made our own Samurai helmets.


Other Things to Ask Your Child About:
~Personal Space Camp
~Song Books
~Surveys
~Practicing high frequency words

Have a great weekend!
Katie
