A Week in Review

Here is our week!  We sure are busy learning and having fun in Second Grade!

Monday - We had a chance to work in groups to squeeze all of the toothpaste out of a small tube.  Next, we had to try to get it all back into the tube.  That was really hard!  We talked about how the toothpaste is like our words and actions.  Once our words escape our mouth, like the toothpaste squirting out of the tube, it is hard to take the words back, just like we really couldn't put the toothpaste back into the tube.  We read How Full is Your Bucket?  to further think about and discuss the idea of suing kind words and helpful actions.

Toothpaste!

Out, out, out!

Working hard to get it back in...

We will be bucket fillers!

Tuesday -We started our Monster project by reading I Need my Monster.  It really helped us get ideas for creating our won monsters.  We also spent time drawing our monsters. 

Busy creating!

We used marker to add detail.

Wednesday - We listened to stories from a special book.  This is a book that helped Mrs. Anderson learn to read.   It is very old!  There is even a special story with her name in it!

Thursday - We learned about picking books that are a good fit for us.  These are books that we can read and understand.  We learned about the five finger rule.  Then, we selected books for our Literacy bags.  We also had our first Math test. 

Carefully looking and thinking about books.

Reading, thinking, reading!

Friday - We played a math game about 10 more and 10 less or 100 more and 100 less.  We also got to use iPads for the first time.  We played math games with money, the number chart and addition facts.
