Good morning 307 friends!
Have you been keeping up with your nonfiction reading? I've been reading about many topics like the moon, penguins, and insects. My favorite has been learning about the robin, the bird living in a nest outside my window. So far I've learned that robins are a type of songbird, they like to eat insects and berries, and the chicks leave the nest after two weeks. What topic have you been reading about lately?
If you're meeting with me today, please be ready to share what you have written so far on your expert books. You should also make sure you have a pencil and paper and a whiteboard and marker (if you have one). I can't wait to hear what you have written so far!

Happy Monday Scholars!
On the left you'll find this week's learning schedule. I set it up just like last week where you will only have two or three new lessons a day. This means you will have two days to work on each reading and writing assignment. Make sure you are taking your time and putting in your best effort!
Starting this week, science/ social studies will be optional, meaning you only have to do the work if you want to.
You'll also notice that I've linked the Daily Number Talks to the schedule as well. This should make it easier and quick for you to find!
Have a great day!

Happy Friday Scholars!
Just recently I've been hearing a bird chirping and tweeting beautiful songs outside my window. I decided to watch it today and I discovered that it built a nest in one of the bush! I'm so curious about this bird now, so I'm going to read about it on Big Universe today. I want to find out what type of bird it is, what it eats, and when she will lay her eggs. What are you going to read about on Big Universe today?
Have a great day and fun weekend!

Yesterday in writing you started you Expert Book report. At our meeting we discussed different topics you might be an expert on. Some examples were a holiday, owning a certain kind of pet, a country, a game, and hair. I hope you were all able to choose your topic and write your table on contents. Today you will need to plan out your expert book. Make sure you watch my lesson and look at my example before you start.
I can't wait to hear what you've written so far. Make sure you come to your meeting with me prepared to share! You should also have your whiteboard and a paper and pencil with you.

Good morning second graders!
Let's talk about non fiction writing for a second. When you are taking notes on the animal you are writing your report on, it is VERY IMPORTANT not to write what is already written in the book you're reading. You need to put it into your own words. For example, if the book says, " Giraffes are the largest animals on land. They spend their days on the savanna looking for food and water." I would put that sentence into my own words by saying, "Since giraffes are the biggest land animals, they need lots of food and water. They will spend most of the day roaming the savanna in search of something to eat and drink." As you write your reports today, double check to make sure everything is written in YOUR WORDS.
Have a Wonderful Wednesday,
Love, hugs, and smiles,
Ms. Tucker

Some days are harder than others. Yesterday was one of those days for me. When I have a tough day, I like to think of three things I'm grateful for in life. It helps! Kid President does she same thing when he's having a bad day. Watch him explain what he's grateful for. What would you add to the list?
Next week is vacation! That means you get to have the week off from doing work. PLEASE try to unplug from your computers and tablets and enjoy life away from technology. We have all been spending so much time online lately. Go for a walk! Read a book! Play with siblings or adults in your house! You have no school work to do until Monday 4.27.20! Enjoy!

I was thinking that even though we are not in the classroom we should still be following our 5 Be's during GoogleMeet. We'll talk more about them tonight, but I posted them on the left for you to look at beforehand.
We are going to try another number talk tonight during our class meeting at 6PM. Please solve TODAYS NUMBER TALK ON A PIECE OF PAPER, take a picture of it, and upload it to out "Share your thinking" folder instead of making a video.

Have you checked out any of the virtual field trips lately? There are links where you can watch animals throughout the day. One of my favorites is the Ocean Voyager at the Georgia Aquarium.

Good morning second graders!
Happy Friday!! You've completed your second week of learning at home! I'm so proud of you and I hope you are proud of yourselves!
I had such a great time chatting with most of you and seeing your faces! I hope you all had fun talking with some of your friends and teachers.
A few of your specialists have started creating websites, so I've created a new tab called "Specialists". Check it out!
I hope you all have a fun weekend and I'll see you on Monday!
Love and hugs!
Ms. Tucker

Good morning second graders,

Are any of you following the Choose Love Lessons? I updated our Choose Love page with the most recent lessons, as well as with some new VIDEOS for you to watch about Courage, Gratitude, and Forgiveness! You should give the lessons a try!
I also added a few new resources! In the "Reading" tab I added a website called Storyline Online. Here you can listen to some really cool actors read your favorite books! I put Coach Evan's PE website under the "Additional Resources" tab. Check them out!
Love and hugs and see you tonight!

Good Morning Second Graders!
Did you know that human schools are not the only schools closed? Maggie goes to special dog school and it's closed too. Just like me, her teacher gives us work to do during the day so Maggie can keep up with her skills. Today, Maggie was working on coming when I call her name. She's learning that even when she's distracted by other really cool things around her, she still needs to come to me when I call her name. It's a work in progress, but we keep practicing because the more we practice, the better she will get. Just like you with your learning! Continuing to practice your school work at home will help you be more prepared when we get back to school!
Keep up the good work!
Love and hugs,
Ms. Tucker

Good Morning Second Graders!
Happy Spring! Did you know yesterday was the first day of Spring? It seems funny because it was snowing and cold, but it's officially SPRING now!
Today we are going on a "field trip" to the New England Aquarium. I've added a new tab to our website called "Virtual Field Trips". This is where I'll post some cool places you can "visit"!
I hope you all have an awesome day! Work hard and persevere!
Love and hugs!

Good Morning Second Graders!
It's day 4 of 307 ONLINE! How's it going? I love seeing you posting your Number Talks everyday and I hope even MORE of you will start to participate! These are great ways I can hear from YOU each day!
I am trying to reach out to YOU each day by writing this Morning Letter, and by reading you James and the Giant Peach. I want you to be able to see my face and hear my voice every day while we are apart!
I added a BUNCH of new links to the “Additional Online Resources” page for you to explore. I also updated the “Choose Love” page and added a new folder called “307 Guest Readers”. The read aloud folder is for you or a family member to record yourselves reading a book for your classmates (and me) to listen to! Check it out!
Love and Hugs!
Ms. Tucker
ps: I'm having trouble loading videos, so click the button at the top from now on.
You'll also have to click on the "chapter ___" buttons for the read aloud :)

You made it through your first day of learning from home! I am VERY proud of all of you and I hope you're proud of yourselves.
I really enjoyed watching so many of your Number Talk videos last night. You were all able to explain your thinking so clearly.
When you get a chance, pop over to the "Math" section and check out the "Bonus Fun" game I added for today.
Happy Learning!

Good Morning Second Graders!
Today is our first day of 307 ONLINE! Remember, for the next few weeks, YOU ARE YOUR OWN TEACHERS. You need to take responsibility for your own learning! I have given you all the tools you need to be successful, now it's up to you! I know you can do it :)
I can't wait to see your responses to the Number Talk each day! Make sure you participate, and watch 2 of your classmates' videos as well!
Happy Learning!

Ms. Tucker
P.S. Make sure you read everyday!
