We second graders have done a lot this week so far! In math we started to tell time to the 1/2 hour, and we're learning to tell the difference between odd and even numbers. We also spent time learning "some, and then some went away" math problems, which is our introduction to subtraction. They are doing a great job!
In writing, we talked about brainstorming, which is coming up with as many ideas as you can. Our writing topic of the week is "Important Places In My Life." They have interesting stories! We also started learning beginning cursive strokes this week.
In spelling, we're talking about consonant blends, and we used our spelling words this week as an example. We talked about the sounds associated with th, sh, st, and br. We're ready for our Friday spelling test!
In grammar, we're working on starting sentences with a capital letter and ending them with a period, exclamation mark, or question mark.
In Social Studies, we are finishing our personal timelines this week - what hard workers! In Science we're finishing up a unit on Weather.
Finally, in Religion we are studying the Sacrament of Baptism, and learning the signs (water, oil, candle, white clothes) that go along with Baptism. They are bringing home a take-home test today and it's due tomorrow. Everyone got a great start on it in class today.
So - that's our busy, fantastic week so far! Please remember that field trip permission slips and money are due tomorrow! If you have questions, please feel free to ask!
