First Few Weeks of School

After lots of technical difficulties with the blog it is officially up and running !! Although the first week of school has come and gone I still have some special pictures to share. 

We have been working so hard in school and I must say I have the best 2nd grade class! Let's review what all we have been learning...

In language arts, we first learned about Fairy Tales and Tall Tales. We read lots of different fables and they all had a "theme message". We had fun with these fables when we retold them by acting them out. 
We have moved into learning about Ancient Asian Civilization and now learning about Ancient Chinese Civilization. It has been very interesting and we have been really enjoying learning about different cultures and comparing them to our own.

In writing, we have been working on writing a Narrative story focusing on a small moment. Students have been working hard to add lots of  "sensory details" to their stories. Adding these "mushy gushy" details help stretch out a small moment into a story.

In math, we just finished up learning about number bonds. We worked hard learning new strategies on how to solve addition and subtraction problems. This week we started our new module focusing on measurement.
