Solids

Students worked on classifying, sorting, and describing solid shapes today for science. They described them by color, shape, size, texture, etc. We will be working more this week on learning specific vocabulary and concepts related to solids and liquids.

Math Centers

Students this week in second grade are working on perimeter and area. Their center work reinforces the skills they are practicing.

Biographies

Students are working hard on writing a biography on a person they have chosen to research. We are practicing taking notes, putting them into our own words, and how to use encyclopedias online and off. Today students practiced creating timelines, which is a skill they learned at the beginning of the year. I am excited to see the children learning so much about famous historical people such as Abraham Lincoln, Ruby Bridges, George Washington Carver and Ryan White. Other students are researching George Washington, Martin Luther King Jr., Juliette Gordon Lowe, Duke Ellington, and many more. We will be finishing up our unit of study on biographies next Friday.

Students review vocabulary concepts by writing their ideas on posters around the room. they were in this way able to practice all of the key words and concepts for this math unit of study.

Promethean Board

Students often use their active expression "clickers" to answer questions on the smart board.

Pajama Day

The whole school wore their pajamas and was ready to read this morning.

Graphing

Students practiced making graphs and sorting items into categories. These graphs required the students to make the units more than one. For example, each block on the graph represented 2 or more items in real life. After finishing their representations, they wrote questions about their graph for other students to answer.
