Writing: We have been incredibly busy in writer’s workshop over the last two weeks. Second graders have been researching a country using research websites found on the media center website. Mrs. Murray helped us with our research during media. We continued our research using Ipads in the classroom. Later, we worked on putting our research into writing and then typed up our writing using the Chromebooks. Kids are now choosing between creating a poster or a book to present their work.
Thank you for a successful Second Grade Math Game Day! Copies of the games will go home next week.
Fundations: In our final Fundations unit we’re studying words with au and aw.
Science: In science we planted our own sunflower seeds that kids will get to take home as soon as they sprout. Second graders are working to take care of their own seed by watering it each day. We also took a closer look at our composters to see what changes had occurred over the last few weeks. The kids were excited to find the earthworms that had been put in their composters. We then added our newly made soil to the Newman Garden.
What is the most interesting thing you have learned about the country you are researching?
What questions did you write in your letter to the third grade teachers?
