After getting over our TURKEY TIREDNESS this week, we have been working hard on the big 3...reading, writing and math.
In literacy this week, we continue to work on checking for understanding. I cannot stress enough how important this skill is on the road to becoming a full fledged reader. We have also been making some interesting predictions before, during and after reading. I know there are some Reading Bingo squares that would fit perfectly with this. Speaking of Reading Bingo...Please ensure that you are only signing a box for reading done with an adult and child together. While other reading is encouraged, it is that special time you and your child spend reading and talking about reading that we want to track.
We have been collecting lots of stories during writing workshop and next week we are going to become PUBLISHED AUTHORS! Stay tuned for our debut novels!
When it comes to numbers, we are immersed in numbers to 10. This involves addition and subtraction with sums less than ten, finding a missing addend (4+ ___ = 7) and equality (6+ 2 = ___ + 5).
All this hard work is laying the foundation for similar work with higher numbers. GET READY!
We are also becoming familiar with the days of the week and months of the year. Check out the Homework Link for some great songs!
We loved having all our incognito turkey friends come back to us and had a great time guessing their disguises. We voted and here are the class picks. Great Job Grade 2!
A few reminders:
-Photos orders are due soon...they may be placed online.
-Our fundraiser is up and running...there are lots of great gift ideas to help support special projects within our team and school.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this blog. It is a great way to spread the word on what's going on in grade 2 and all the amazing learning taking place.
That's the ROAR in 2J
