Here's What's Happening in Second grade!
During writer's workshop we are continuing to flex our poetry muscles! We'll write the final draft of our 5 senses popcorn poem on Monday. After that we'll begin exploring other types of poetry such as acrostic poems, number poems, and cinquain poems. We'll be compiling all of our poetry into a special book that I know the kids will be excited to share with you when they are finished!
We've wrapped up our introduction of multiplication and we're switching gears to division this week. We'll begin by learning about repeated subtraction and how to divide into equal groups. We'll also use arrays to show how we can divide equally.
Our story for this week is Fireflies! by Julie Brinckloe. We'll be reviewing author's purpose and homophones. Our weekly reading test will take place on Thursday and we will squeeze our spelling test in on Friday morning before we leave for our field trip!
