I really love my
second graders! I am already getting sad to see the school days dwindling! They
were working hard this week as always!
In Math, we worked
on pinching paper clips to help us subtract from 100. We learned 2 strategies
to help us solve 100 problems. We also practiced keeping the number whole to
solve subtraction story problems. They are doing phenomenal! I am very
impressed with their progress! We’ll work on addition strategies next week.
In Science, we started
learning about the special characteristics of the sun, moon, and earth. The
students knew a lot already, which is great! We read some great non-fiction
books about the topic and the reason for the seasons. We also saw short videos
called All About the Earth and All About the Sun.
We will learn
about the marvelous moon next week.
In Writing, we
began writing persuasive pieces about what makes Memorial School
*Special Project
Alert!*
The second graders
have been assigned a famous American to research. All of the information will
be found in the Backpack Folders today. This is a very special and memorable
second grade event. Please check the folder for the information.
I hope you have a
great long weekend! I’ll see the students on Tuesday, 5/28.
