Greetings from 2F!
We are so busy lately. Students are working hard on their Write about Reading letters. They are learning how to use templates on the computer to guide them in writing a reading response letter. So exciting! Also, we've been typing our portfolio reflections as well as our biography reports. For the biography reports, we've learned about how to change the lead to something that will grab the reader. Today, we learned about wrap around endings. This is an important way to end our papers that ties it up nicely, referring to something mentioned in the lead. Tomorrow we will learn about how to make our sentences varied. There is some amazing revision happening!
In math, we are sharpening our mental math strategies. Students are learning strategies such as add the ones, add the tens, add the hundreds, make a ten and make a hundred to help them add in their heads. Tomorrow, we look at mental math with subtraction.
Biography projects are coming in! It's so exciting! I'll put videos of the students presenting their work on this blog later in the week. Second graders are so excited about doing projects! I love their enthusiasm.
