We've had a super week of learning here in Room 17. This week, we continued our work with coins and money problems. We have mastered counting collections of mixed coins and are now working on story problems that involve money. We know the symbols that are used with dollars and cents and what the decimal points means when talking about money. Here is a quick peek at a money scavenger hunt that we did as a class.
This week in writing, we continued to elaborate in our book nominations. We have learned that we can make our book nominations longer, stronger and more convincing by comparing our book to other books that aren't as deserving and by adding quotations right from our text that show evidence for our opinions. Next week we will choose one nomination to edit and fancy up for an upcoming writing celebration!
Don't Forget!
- You will find your assigned parent-teacher conference time in your child's Friday Folder. I look forward to seeing you all next week!
- If you have access to copier paper boxes that you will not be needing, the second grade is collecting them for a social studies project! Please send them our way.
Other Things to Ask Your Child About:
- Final week of Taiko Drumming
- Giving advice for second grade readers
- Close to 25 Cents
- Picking a state to research
- Fifty Nifty United States
- Clementine
Have a wonderful weekend!
