First Grade 

This week we focused on learning new partner games for independent work time and postponed our measuring unit. We will begin that next week.  

Second Grade

Students learned new games for independent learning time. They also learned about coins and adding and subtracting within the dollar. They spent their dollar at the classroom shop focusing on how many items they could buy and how much money they would have left over. 

Students are working on reading non-fiction text with a focus on soft g and c, r controlled vowels, glued sounds such ild, old and ind and the digraph ch. 

Students listened to nonfiction text about a sloth and learned how to take notes using a graphic organizer. We then took those notes and learned how to turn them into sentences. Next week we will learn to take a fact and write a twin sentence (elaboration). We will also pick our animals to research next week!  Everyone is SO excited!
