We're Learning So Much...it's Scary!
Here's What's Happening in Second Grade!
Our text for this week is Those Shoes by Maribeth Boelts. It is a beautiful text that reminds students about kindness, friendship, and generosity. We will also take a look at wants versus needs, synonyms & antonyms, inferring, and making connections with the text. We're still plugging along with our personal narrative about a time when we were sick or hurt and the plan is to publish at the beginning of next week.
Finally, don't forget about parent-teacher conferences this week. I've made a few extra slots on Sign-Up Genius to accommodate all second grade families. If you have not signed up yet, please contact me and we will arrange a time that works best for you. I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful class of students this year and I'm looking forward to meeting with each and every one of you!
Save Sam & Magic Mummies
Sam the worm is stuck on a boat. He went out for a nice ride on his new rowboat. Suddenly, some strong winds started to rock his boat back and forth. The boat accidentally capsized and Sam lost both of his oars! Sam can't row back to shore...he's stuck! Luckily, Sam was able to climb on top of his capsized boat for safety. Now the only thing Sam can do is get his life preserver from under the boat and swim back to shore.
Here is your challenge! Your team's job is to save Sam by recovering his life jacket from under the boat to put on Sam. The only materials you can use to accomplish this challenge are the paperclips I've given to your team. In addition, you are not able to touch Sam, the rowboat, or the life preserver with any of your hands.
