We've had a fabulous week of learning here in Room 17! This week, we celebrated the 100th day of school. I cannot believe it has already been 100 day with these super second graders! On Monday, the second grade team will be celebrating with an afternoon of fun surrounding the number 100. We will explore it's relationship to the number 1,000 and 10 centuries.
This week in math, we continued our deep dive into our unit on measurement. We've learned to measure in some non-standard units, such as teacher feet and giant feet. Now, we are moving towards standards units of measurement, including inches, feet and yards. We know there are 12 inches in one foot, and three feet in one yard. We've discussed what tools might be good for measuring different objects in our school. What methodical measurers we are! Here is a peek at us measuring:
This week in reading, we began a new unit that focuses on strategies for amping up our reading power. Our first bend has been all about fluency. We learned that one of the most powerful ways for readers to grow is to improve our reading fluency. This week we practiced using dialogue tags to help us read like our characters, and to look for punctuation to use as clues for phrasing. We are become fluent readers!
Other Things to Ask Your Child About:

Have a wonderful weekend!
