December!

This month has been full of Winter activities! Second Grade has been kept busy preparing for our Winter Holidays, Looking back on holiday traditions, and helping out our school community! 

What makes your holiday season warm? We added lots of marshmellows to our hot cocoa, on what makes our seasons warmest! 

 Our Holiday Traditions Board! Soon to have lots of ornaments full of our holiday traditions! 

Our Math Bulletin Boards with our Addition and Subtraction Penguins! We connected Math and Science in this fun activity- looking at the Life Cycle of the Penguin while still solving math problems! 

Helping Kindergarten Prepare for their Publishing Party! We shared lots of tools from our second grade tool kit! 

From our Author's Visit!

October!

October: 

Welcome Fall! Second Grade has been channeling our Fall Spirit by creating these Fall inspired works!

                               

Here is our beautiful Pumpkin Patch! In this writing piece, we spoke about 'If we had a Pumpkin it would be...' using the unit of Sequencing to help us talk about our pumpkin stories! The students were required to use transitional words First, Next, Then, and Last to describe what happened step by step
in their stories.



How would you decorate your very own pumpkin? 
-Students were able to use transitional words once more, and use descriptive language to assist in their many points.

Math Addition and Subtraction Fun! 

- Students had to solve the math problems and color in each piece of the picture according to the key!

Fall Acrostic Poetry: 

- Second Grade welcomed the Season of Fall by creating Acrostic Poetry using the word 'FALL'

September!

September certainly has been filled with tons of learning fun! 

In one month, Second Grade has published their own Personal Narratives, and even paid a close eye on the key details in the text that support the Main Ideas in a story!

Personal Narratives: 

Each student took one small moment in their lives and practiced making it bigger and bigger! 

Key Details and Main Idea: 

Second Grade has also paid a close eye on key details in a story, and how they support the main idea! 

Finally, a HUGE Congratulations to our Second Grade Student of the Month! 

Keep on Shining!
