This week in Room 203...
Curriculum Night Thank you so much for all of you who were able to attend last night. For those of you who were not able to come, I am sending home a hard copy of the information presented. Please let me know if you have any questions. You can also find a digital copy by accessing the helpful links tab. Seesaw Please follow the directions (in your curriculum night packet) to get notifications from Seesaw. Each of your students has a journal that will have videos, pictures and assignments posted to it. We had a book tasting today at Ms. Warner's Italian Cafe - please check it out on SeeSaw! Reading This week we focused on really thinking about our reading. We talked about meta cognition - how we take an author's words and put our on spin on what we think about them. Students started working with their reading partners and I can't wait to record some of the partner talk (they interview one another with microphones - its fabulous). We started a jot parking lot - we write our connections, thoughts, wonderings and predictions. Writing We are still working to build stamina in our writing. We can write for about 10 minutes straight right now. We practiced punctuation, learned about sentence structure and proper nouns also this week. We ended the week working on our writer's heart. We talked about how the things in our life and experiences we have had can help us come up with small moment stories. Math We completed Module (Unit) One in math and students took the end of unit assessment today. They have developed strategies to add and subtract double digit with single digits within 100. We talked about the importance of showing our work and explaining on our thinking. I also introduced them to Splashmath (they can play this at home, the log-in is in your curriculum folder). The kids love it because they can earn coins and open different worlds as they work through math problems. Social Studies We had our first successful class meeting this week learning about how we can solve problems using bugs and wishes and also how we can give compliments to one another. We continued to talk about being what being a citizen in a community means. Donations Needed for 2nd Grade Store If you have any gently used toys, books, or would like to pick up some items from the dollar store, we are in need of items to stock our Soaring Eagle store. Items that are popular are: pencils, erasers, toys, small notepads, puzzles, etc. Thank you! Have a great weekend!
