Tuesday

It was another busy day in 2F! In math, we are focusing on multiplication tables: twos, fives, and tens. We skip counted today by all of those numbers. We worked a lot today on the twos tables. Students are seeing the relationship between counting by twos and doubling the number. In writing this morning, we we turned our planning sheets about our areas of expertise to rough drafts. We learned to write introductions, facts with definitions, and conclusions. This was a bit tricky so we will keep working on it all week. During word work, I explained the new word work job for this week.  We also learned the words of the week: also, almost, goes, snow, and old - all long o words. This afternoon, we discussed the difference between fiction and nonfiction. We did a life-sized Venn Diagram comparing the components of both. To end our day, Mrs. Guay read to us about birds. We are learning a lot about birds we might see in our backyards!
