Last week in Writing!

2nd graders have been working on expanding the middle of our stories by "unfreezing characters".  Our stories come alive when characters move and talk!  

We also brainstormed other more exciting words for "said" and "went".

This Week!

In Math this week we have been working on teamwork. Students completed silent puzzles together and they explored math manipulatives such as cubes and pattern blocks.

 

 

During Reading this week students have been selecting good books and practicing their independent reading.  Our goal is to be able to read for 20 minutes.  Right now we are reading for 16 minutes! Whoo hoo!
