We are Learning...
We are still working on novels. Some groups have started their 2nd novel. We are discussing how authors develop characters.
Math:
We will be reviewing skills from throughout the year. We are putting all of our skills together to solve multi-step problems.
Writing:
We will be working on our opinion writing.
Science:
2nd Graders at Thorpe Creek Elementary will be issued a challenge to reduce, recycle and reuse. Students are now in the process of sharing their tools with the class. Our class chicks should arrive tomorrow. We will be incubating our chicks. We will candle the chicks and observe their growth. Our hope is the chicks will hatch before the end of the year. We will also be completing some engineering projects.
