Today in class we practiced writing sentences. Students are required to use correct capitalization, punctuation and spelling during the writing time. This is a bit of an adjustment from 1st grade--many students have been accustom to "sounding it out" only. You can help your child make this transition easier by encouraging good spelling and punctuation at home.
In science today we observed our meal worms. We noticed that they started shedding their skin in preparation for a big "change." Maybe tomorrow or the next day we will start to find out what the "change" is going to be!
Today in reading we met with our reading groups. We spent today as a "getting to know you" time. We talked about the books we enjoyed and found out that the people in our reading groups actually have a lot in common with each other :)
In math we practiced adding amounts of money and then using the < and > sign. We had 2 groups of coins that we had to add up and then decided which group was largest. We will continue to practice money throughout the next few units. The Unit 1 test is coming up THIS Friday!! Amazing how fast time flies! We will be reviewing for the test in class on Thursday :)
