So Far This Week . . .

This week has been so busy with all the learning we are doing in Second Grade!

Monday we had our first indoor recess!  We got to use blocks and play games.  Other students wanted to draw and color.  It was a good chance to practice what we do during indoor recess.

Wednesday we talked about what to do when we feel like we want to blurt out and interrupt.  We read the book My Mouth is a Volcano.  We first talked about volcanoes and found out we know lots about them!  Next, we talked about what happens if you  shake a bottle of pop - it explodes!  Then we read the book - see if your child can tell you about what happened.  We came up with things we can do when we are feeling like we want to interrupt but know we shouldn't.

Today we did our first partner reading.  It was lots of fun to share our book Asha in the Attic with our desk partner.  Some kids got to use the big book or the book on the Smart board.

We had Library today!  Ms. Zbacnik talked to us about the author and illustrator who are coming to Brimhall in October.  We are so lucky.  We read the book When's my Birthday? by Julie Fogliano Illustrations by Christian Robinson.  Ask your child about the book.
