This week we are doing a recap of lesson 11, as we missed so much school last week! We did a review of new sight words. We worked on word endings and brainstormed words that end in -each, -unch, etc. Then we did center work where we wrote a letter to Santa, wrote about favorite winter activities, met with teacher, read to self, and read to someone. It was a productive center day. After lunch we finished our government social studies unit. We had a few minutes to work on unfinished (or play spot it or headbanz) before going to PE followed immediately by library. We took a break for snack and title, then did a math lesson. We are almost done with this unit! Test to come soon. Needed: Metal hangers--any size but the little ones are better. Currently we have zero so any are appreciated! :) :) Book orders due tomorrow! Cereal Boxes please Spirit of giving items ...thank you so much for all you do! Memory sight word game during meet with teacher

Mon Dec 2-December!

Today was a good day getting back into our routine after the long weekend. We started lesson 11 of language arts. We learned the robust words fellow, executive, filthy, and kin. We also took a pre-spelling test. For center work we wrote a friendly letter to our star student, listened to reading and took notes during the story, as well as writing our vocabulary words in a sentence. We stamina built for 29 minutes! Woohoo! After lunch we did a social studies lesson on government. We talked about the branches of government and what they do. Then we had PE followed by library. We took a snack break then got into math. In math we reviewed doubles plus one and doubles minus one. Then we worked to create and solve story problems. We talked about story problems with collection of information, comparison story problems, and hidden information problems. We also worked with two-step story problems. This last one is quite tricky for us. We ended the day with a santa writing activity that will lead into a fun craft!

Tues Nov. 19-Theme 2 Testing

Today we had a busy day, as we were doing a lot of testing for our language arts theme 2 curriculum. This was a review over everything we have learned this month. I've checked half of the tests and so far it looks like we've done a great job! Comprehension is still a weak area for us. I sent these tests home today-look over them so you can see the types of questions that are expected of our 2nd graders :) We did center work and then headed to lunch followed by PE. We played a fun witch game in PE. Then we did another portion of our language arts tests before going to music to work on our holiday program. After music we had title and snack. Then we did a math lesson that was working on counting on to make a ten to solve addition and subtraction problems. We also worked on solving a variety of story problems. We did math centers were we played a parachute drop game that worked on teen total facts, as well as the remembering side of our homework. We ended the day with unfinished work. REMINDERS: This Friday is a Bully Free Day. A.k.a wear Jacob's bullying teeshirt! :)
