Dear
Families,
Our week
has gone by fast. We have worked so hard
this week. In reading, they have started
reading in partnerships with a focus on discussing literary language. During readers workshop the children have
been reading up a storm and jotting down playful language they read in the
books and discussing it with their partners as well as in whole group. They have jotted down this playful language
on sticky notes. Here are some examples: Laughing until my sides split, running
water, the roar of the crowd, and we should live in the present. 2nd
grade readers are understanding how authors keep our attention while they are
reading longer and stronger.
In math we
continue our Measuring unit. This week we continued our exploration of inches
into yards. We noticed there are 24
inches in 2 feet and 36 inches or 3 feet in one yard. They worked in pairs to measure in yards.
In writing,
we continued to write opinion papers. They have been including reasons and
examples in their opinion papers. This
week we focused on if they had $100 dollars, what would they spend it on and
reasons and examples as to why they would spend their money on certain things.
Our field
trip to the Flynn Theater is on Monday, February 13th. We are leaving school at 8:45.
If your
child is making Valentine cards, please remember to make a card for each child
in the classroom. I sent home a class
list of names 2 weeks ago.
Have an awesome weekend and stay warmJ
Nicole
