What a strong week back this was! On Wednesday, everyone brought their folders in! When we get all folders turned in, we earn cubes :) Mark your calendars for our holiday concert on the 15th, stay tuned for more details…

We started module 4 in reading this week where we explored fairy tales and learned inflected endings such as adding -s and -es to words, as well as -ed for a noun or verb in the past. 

In math we made some cute fact trees and wreaths for our bulletin board (see picture below) and continued learning how to solve word problems involving two digit numbers.

We started writing our own personal narratives this week! Some students are having a tough time coming up with a topic to write about. Please check in and ask what story they are going to write about for their personal narrative. On Monday we will be making writing plans and spending the next two weeks really perfecting our stories! Thanks for your support at home!

We also welcomed a magical elf into our classroom, ask your student what his name is and what he has mischief he has caused so far…

Daily reading and fact practice with sums/differences within 20 continue to be a top priority for 2nd grade, thank you for your efforts at home!

Have a wonderful weekend,

~Summer
