Monday

We had a busy day in 2F!  There are no specials on Mondays so we have a lot going on. Math is how we start the day. We are working with place value in chapter one of the Math in Focus program. Students are building numbers with base ten blocks and are working on counting by ones, tens and hundreds! We also count during Morning Meeting as well.

After our Morning Meeting and snack we went outside for a movement break.  It was so gorgeous out! Next, we came in and finished our Hopes and Dreams for Second Grade on the iPads. Wait until you see them at Open House! Students then shared them and we created class rules based on these goals.

In word work, we cheered 5 words from the review list: after, are, because, before, could. Students wrote them as many times as they could fit on the line.

After lunch, we began a new chapter book by Kevin Henkes. Next we read a poem together about a lunchbox. Finally, during reading, we had "stations": pattern block building, a Wemberly Worried fun pack and Scholastic News. I was able to do a few reading benchmarks while children did this.

No time for closing circle today....maybe tomorrow!  Homework went home today. Let me know if you have questions about this!
