It does not seem like Spring outside, but inside the classroom I can see signs of Spring wherever I look! Students are reading and writing like First Graders and solving math problems with each other! It has been a blast watching them blossom these last few weeks!
Reading: We are working on being avid readers of non-fiction books. Students had a chance to sort the books in their book box into fiction and non-fiction books. We are also working on reading words all the way through and then rereading to make sure we were right.
Writing: We finished up our quick unit on persuasive and opinion writing and are working on narrative writing again. Students remembered that narrative writing should have a who, where, and a what. This week we also learned that narrative writing can be even better if the author includes feelings!
Word Work: Students continue to do word family sorts and this week we took it to the first grade level and wrote the words! Wow! They are doing great!
Math: Students are learning about teen numbers being a group of ten and more ones. We are reviewing shapes and subitizing as well.
Social Studies: This week in Second Step we reviewed being active listeners. Students looked at pictures of themselves and decided if they were being active listeners. Check out these great listeners!
