Happy Monday!



Today was a wonderful day in 2nd grade! A new student joined our class and all of the other children were very welcoming. I must say-I am already dreading the end of the year when I need to say goodbye to this class. I receive so many compliments about their behavior and over all kindness; it warms my heart.

In reading, we read to self, listened to reading and added a new poem to our poetry journals. We also discussed fact vs opinion and searched for diagraphs in our reading and spelling. In math, students played “Name the Missing Number”. 2 students came to the front of the room. I gave them each a card with a number on it (that they couldn’t look at).  The cards together made the sum of 10. When I said “1-2-3 Open” the students opened their eyes and tried to figure out what number was on their head by looking at the other student’s number. It was a lot of fun! We will continue to play this game so that we can practice automaticity with our sums of 10. We will then slowly make it more difficult. The students finished their butterfly journals today and will bring them home at conferences.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO RETURN YOUR CONFERENCE FORM!
