Here's What's Happening in Second grade!
Writer's workshop continues to be all about how-to writing, but this week we are kicking it up a notch! Last week, we all wrote about how to make pie in a cup. We learned how to sequence the steps in our how-to writing. This week, the kids get to choose something that they are an expert at and write a how-to piece of their own. We'll go through the writing process together, but each child will have a different topic of his or her choice. During math, we will continue to work on regrouping, but this week we are doing triple-digit addition. Everyone did an amazing job with double-digit addition, so I'm hoping the transition to the next step will be seamless!
Next week will be a short one with two full days and a half-day on Wednesday, December 21st. We'll be enjoying some math & literacy learning centers and wrapping up al of the units we are working on so that we can have a nice fresh start when we return in January. On Wednesday, December 21st, we will be watching a Christmas movie together and enjoying a snack. Kids are invited to wear pj's and can bring slippers or socks to wear in the classroom. I also don't mind if they bring a stuffed friend to snuggle with while we watch the movie. If you have any questions heading into these last few weeks in December, please do not hesitate to call, email, or text me!
