Wednesday and Thursday

We are almost done with our biography reports!  The projects are rolling in and they are fantastic!  In reading today, we read the beginning of Thank You Mr. Falker. We will finish tomorrow.  This is an important book about how we all need help and that it's okay to ask for help. This is a theme that we have been discussing at length in 2F.

Today, we switched rooms and mixed up for WIN groups. This cycle the lessons are involving Word Work.  Some children are using word wall words, some are working on vocabulary lessons, while others are doing some intense phonics work.

In math, we are working through mental math strategies. Students are learning how to add and subtract large numbers in their heads using the following strategies: Add/Subtract the ones, tens, and hundreds and Make Tens/Hundreds.  I am impressed by students' abilities to add and subtract in their heads!

The BFG is a fun book to read aloud!
