Today we started going to Technology in our new primary Mac lab downstairs! We really enjoy being there with Mrs. Stolle. During math we learned to use our doubles and neighbors while subtracting. We also went to Number Corner. We started discussing antonyms, synonyms, and homonyms. A synonym is a word that means the same. An antonym is a word that means the opposite. A homonym (also homophone) are two or more words that sound the same but having different meanings. We started reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

I hope you all had a wonderful homecoming! Tomorrow is P.E. Wear the right shoes!

Today in math we practiced our doubles and leaned about neighbors. If we know that 6+6=12, then we know what 6+7 is. We can use our facts to help us know other facts. Please practice the doubles and neighbors page that is in the take home folder.

During Writer’s Workshop, we made an Alphabet Action book about verbs, Each student picked a verb and made a page about it. We will turn it into a class book.

We read to self, read to someone, and did our word work for the day.

Tomorrow is P.E. Also, don’t forget about the 2nd grade Parent Orientation Thursday night from 6-7 if you are interested.

Today in music we made projects for Homecoming. During math we worked on addition word problems. We solved them by acting them out. We continued our weekly Target Reading. Today is Constitution Day. We read a Scholastic News over the Constitution and watched a short School House Rock video about the Constitution. During Writer’s Workshop we continued writing our three wishes stories.

Tomorrow is Ready Bodies and Friday! 🙂

Today we read The Class from the Black Lagoon and completed our own venn diagram comparing it to The Teacher from the Black Lagoon. We discussed repeating and additive patterns in math. We started our Science journal over weather.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Today in math, we skipped counted by 2’s, 3’s, 4’s, 5’s and 10’s. We worked with patterns on a 100 chart. We are almost finished with our week of Target Reading. We have been reading The Billy Goats’ Story this week. We also did a KWL chart in Science over weather. K – what we know, W – what we want to know, L – what we learned. Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs is a funny story that describes pars of weather. We also read The Substitute Teacher from the Black Lagoon and compared it to The Teacher from the Black Lagoon.

We miss our friends who have been sick. We are continuing to work hard to stay healthy by washing our hands, using Germ-X, and coughing and sneezing into our elbows!

Ready Bodies tomorrow!

Today we talked about patterns in math. In the pattern ABABABAB – the pattern unit is AB. That is what repeats itself.

Today was our first Character Ed day. Mrs. Crossland came into our classroom and taugh us about taking care of people and treating them how you want to be treated.

In writing we talked about nouns. We know that a noun is a person, place, or a thing.

Tomorrow is Music!

During math we discussed our new vocabulary words – after, before, between, and number line. We also ordered numbers using a number line.

We practiced Read to Self and Read to Someone and are adding minutes every day. We read The Gym Teacher from the Black Lagoon and compared it to The Teacher from the Black Lagoon.

We went to music today, and tomorrow is Ready Bodies. Look for math papers to come home tomorrow.

Today during math we wrote out number words for different numbers. For example: 43 is forty-three.

During Writer’s Workshop we wrote down things we liked inside of a heart to help us with more ideas about what to write about.

Our principal, Mrs. Koonce, came to our class and read The Principal from the Black Lagoon. We really enjoyed having her in our classroom.

Tomorrow is P.E. again!

We did many thing today. In math we drew pictures to solve problems. See take home folder for the paper. During Writer’s Workshop we talked about ideas to help us when we do not know what to write about. Inside our take home folders we also have a paper to fill out to help us with other ideas. Please take time to fill this out with your child.

Today was our first day to visit the Library. We also went to Technology. Tomorrow is P.E.

Happy Birthday, Madison R!

During Writer’s Workshop, we finished our Important Book and started working on their Sail Into Summer project.

We were an audience for Mrs. Barlow’s class while they practiced their CHAMPS assembly. Good luck!
