Gr 2 ELA and MATH
English-Language Art (with Mr. Yearick) ; Math (with Miss H)
Last week of January in ELA:
This week in reading we read the book "Owl Moon". We discussed some things like plot, setting, and writing style. We focused on the long 'o' sounds of "ow" and "oa", stretched our sentences out, and came up with some silly examples to help us identify subject and predicate.
We prepped a bit for next week with some stick puppets for Monday's read aloud, "The Great Ball Game". We've got a very artistic class! Next week we'll also look at sentence fragments and run-ons, and we'll review how to make plurals.
Unit 5 was our GEOMETRY unit!
We've had a lot of fun building pyramids, making polygons, looking for symmetry and playing with geoboards and tangrams. On Thursday, we took our UNIT QUIZ and on Friday we used our iPads to take pictures of items (and people) in the classroom that were symmetrical. We used an app that allowed us to add the line of symmetry on each photo.
Have you met Mr. Bollig?
He's a student teacher from Concordia University working on his master's of education degree. He'll be teaching 2nd grade math and is working with Miss H. Be sure to say WELCOME!
IXL is fun and instructive...
There's an easy to use (and free!) app for iPads and tablets so that sign in is easy for your child OR sign in on a computer or laptop using your username and password.
If you need assistance with this, please contact Miss H.
We are working our way through the GEOMETRY skills.
Traveling Teddy Bears known as PALS
Can you help us see the world? We have 26 PALS who have names, travel logs in their backpacks and are ready to travel. We ask for postcards, email photos, and maybe a souvenir so that we can learn more about the USA and beyond! Let us know if you are traveling or have FRIENDS or FAMILY who are...
