Weekly Update 1/18

We will have a short week due to Monday’s holiday and our professional development day on Tuesday.  I hope you’re enjoying the long weekend!

Please note that there will be no spelling tic-tac-toe or reading log questions this week for homework.  Also, Friday is an all-school Pajama Spirit Day

Second grader’s are in for a treat this week as we“fly out” on our journey around the world.  Thursday afternoon we will kick off our “trip” by going on an imaginary flight with all the second grade classes.  Starting next week, we will spend about 2 weeks learning about each of the seven continents.  We are just beginning to learn the names and locations of each continent.  Here is a link to a song we are using to help to us:


The math lessons this week will touch upon Change-To Number Stories (starting with a number, then changing that number by adding on to get a new number).  We’ll discuss this concept by looking at fish that increase their weight by eating other fish.
On Friday we look forward to having parents come in to the classroom to play math games. 

Reading groups will continue their work with non-fiction and exploring new vocabulary.  The kids have been doing great being word detectives and using dictionaries in the classroom.

Our restaurant reviews are coming out awesome!  I’ve been so impressed by how convincing second graders can be!  We will try to finish them up this week and begin the editing process.

Coming Up:
- Look for class Valentine lists coming soon.  We will celebrate with our last class party on Friday, February 12th.
