Emma's News Report
November 1st 2015- November 13th 2015
November's Big Ideas!
During the past two weeks students have read a few fiction texts on being thankful during our reading block, practiced writing an informational book on one of their favorite activities like Gail Gibbons during our writing time, and have written thank you letters to past teachers, and the instructors at the planetarium.
Students took a trip to the planetarium, and attended a special STEM activity day in the past two weeks. During the second quarter student's will focus more on the earth's atmosphere, our solar system, and the universe.
In math we will continue to work hard on new second grade skills and review the harder skills we learned last year in first grade.
