12/8/2022 0 Comments WHat's been happening latelySince we have returned from Thanksgiving break we have been discovering nonfiction texts. We started with "non text texts". Things like recipes, diagrams, and maps. Now we've moved onto our books and are learning new facts, and asking new questions as we're learning. In our writing, we have just started to incorporate some of the fun text features we're finding our books into our own writing. Students are adding in things like glossaries, fun facts, and diagrams. We will continue with this work through the month of December, and we will move into comparing two texts on the same topic to see how the details are alike and different. During math we are continuing our big work of adding and subtracting double digit numbers. This will be a large focus for us in second grade, and the students have been enjoying using their beaded number line tools as a concrete manipulative during this work.
Before Thanksgiving, we wrapped up our science unit on material properties. Now we have started a social studies focus on US Symbols. We will be rotating with the other 2nd grade teachers starting this Friday to learn about different symbols. This past Monday, our class had a chance to go visit Mrs. Rodgers. We had a whole class enrichment session where the students began to program some robots! Next week, we will be having our class spelling bee. This is round one for the spelling bee that takes place across the country. A practice list went home for this already. I explained to the students that studying was of course optional, but I know there are some who love to prepare for this annual challenge. Our class spelling bee will be happening next Thursday, December 15th. This Friday, December 9th, first trimester report cards will be coming home. Please sign and return the envelope, because we will reuse those each trimester. As always, if there are any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out. -Mrs. Duval
