We are off to a great second week of school in Room 105!
We have been working hard in reading workshop. We have learned how to use our classroom library. We have selected books based on interest. Reading a sneak peek on the book and read a few pages to help get familiar with a book, helps us decide. We will also discuss how readers read more in second grade, building their stamina from 20 minutes up to 25-30 minutes.
This week we are reading The Potato Chip Champ and The Juice Box Bully both books are written by Maria Desmondy. We are continue to work on kindness. Tomorrow we will have a potato chip taste test and graph results as part of our "Friday Fun!" We will write ways to be a friend and to be kind.
We have begun writing workshop! Second graders begin writing "small moments." We will continue to build stamina writing for longer periods of time each week.
In math, we have learned how to use math tools and reviewed counting coins! I introduced the nickel yesterday. Many students came in Thursday morning knowing who was on the nickel! We played several fun math games to help us review skills from last year. Today we will begin scrolling and trying to reach the number 1000 on our scrolls over the next few weeks.
I was so happy to meet many parents last night. If you missed coming to Curriculum Night, I am sending home all the information today. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
I hope to post pictures soon, when I have received back the photo release forms from everyone.
Thank you,
Mrs. Scheck
