Throughout this week, the second grade superstars have been working hard on reading, writing, math, and science!
Reading: We are working on building our independent reading stamina. So far we have been able to read for a straight 15 minutes!! :) We have also learned about the importance of choosing just right books. On Thursday, we started reading with buddies and learned a new song to remind us how to sit..."Elbow to Elbow, Knee to Knee. Book in the middle so we both can see!"
Writing: This week started writing about strong, powerful moments that have happened in our lives. We are SUPER excited about using our tiny topics notebooks to record our great story ideas!
Math: As mathematicians, we are becoming experts at making 10 while we play math games. We started an addition strategies chart to help us remember different ways to add.
Science: We started our first unit in science. It is all about the Human Body. We learned about cells, tissues, and organs.
