Cauble's and Eliot's classes are headed to the YMCA the first week of February for water safety classes. Don't forget swimsuits and towels MTThF.
In Math we are continuing to solve story problems. These problems are going to be focusing on adding and subtracting 3 digit numbers. We are using blocks, pictures, words, numbers, and place value to solve these problems. We are working on mental math strategies, but the standard algorithm is not part of the 2nd grade expectations.
In ELA we are learning about historical figures and timelines. We are learning how to research our own historical figures so that we can teach each other.

February Character Trait: Kindness and Compassion
Developing character is an essential part of promoting one's personal/social development and self-esteem. Each month, we recognize specific character traits through Character Trait of the Month. Teachers reinforce these character traits in the classroom during Morning Meeting to help students promote positive behavior and demonstrate good character!
Character is what you do when no one's watching."
