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.
