Today students worked hard to complete their Grosse Pointe writing assessment, had surprise time in the computer lab, and practiced a fire drill. This afternoon we spent time reading, writing and spending time together. Thank you for allowing me into your child's life and for allowing me to be their teacher while Mrs. Stewart was out. Welcome back Mrs. Stewart, you were missed.

We have had an amazing week! Last Monday we started a book-buddy program with Mrs. Breckenridge's Kindergarten class. During our book-buddy time, students read to one another and 2nd graders focus on a skill. This week we focused on stopping at punctuation.
Math workshop is going well and students are improving each day. This week on IXL math students are working on money and time. Please allow them to log in at home, they know how to do this.
In reading we have been focusing on the strategy of inferring. Inferring is like predicting, but using information that the author has stated to help infer.
Social Studies we are focusing on Geography. Students have learned a continent song, are able to identify, and name the 7 continents. They are working on understanding what country, state, county, and city we live in.

Today we met Emma-Kate and saw Mrs. Stewart!!!!
Students continued working on area, telling time, weighing objects, balancing, addition and subtraction facts during math workshop. We will review chapter 9 this week and their test will be on Friday.
In reading we began to explore inference. To make an inference students act like a detective and look for clues. For Example: If a child is crying you may infer that they are hungry or miss their parents.
In Science we finished up our Motion unit and made tops. Next, we will be focusing on Animal Reports, Maps, and Geography.
Flat Stanley sure did visit a great deal of places over break. The students loved spending time with him and their flat selves. Here a just a few of Stanley's Adventures
