What an eventful yet
beautiful day!
This morning in
Daily 5, the students reviewed what buddy reading should look like, sound like
and feel like. Lately, we have struggled with checking for understanding so we
took some time today to review why it is so important. We also met in our small
groups and added a poem to our poetry journals.
In P.E. one of our
students fell off of the equipment and broke his arm. I talked with mom at the
end of the day and she said he is doing much better. Mrs. Armstrong (the PE
teacher) was so impressed with the students when this happened. They rose to
the occasion, listened for the directions and did exactly what they were told
to do. Way to go 2nd graders!!! This group of kids is so incredibly
helpful, caring and generous.
In science, we
continued to learn about weather. So far we have focused on rain and snow. This
week, our focus is lightning. After we read the books A Letter to Amy by
Ezra Jack Keats and Water Dance by Thomas Locker, the students created
their lightning pictures using the Picture Writing Process. Tomorrow students will write I Poems
about lightning.
