The Latest

I want to start off this post by saying how much I love my class this year! We have had a great month of school. 

I have created a new project through Donors Choose! I am requesting leveled readers for the students to read during the Daily 5. I received two donations so far and only have $157 more to go! To view my project, click here Sshhh We're Reading

Reading: Mrs. Lewis, (my awesome reading co-teacher)  and I began reading groups this past week.  All of the students will meet with both of us for reading group throughout the year. We are continuing to practice our stamina for Read to Self, Read to Someone, and Work on Word Work during Daily 5.  The next two elements are Work on Writing and Listen to Reading.

Writing:  We are beginning to complete organizers for our personal narratives and will start our rough drafts next.

Have a nice weekend. 

September Happenings

Here's what we have been up to in 2nd grade!

Reading: We are still learning components of the Daily 5.  We have been practicing our stamina for Read to Self, Read to Someone, and Word Work.  

Spelling: Words Their Way spelling homework began this week.  Each night they must choose a sort to complete.  If the sort doesn't have a written component, I ask that a parent/guardian signs in their spelling journals what sort they completed.  Thank you for your support with their homework! 

Social Studies: The students have been learning about what a community is and the different types of communities.  

Math:  Math teachers were assigned and math class started this past Monday.  That means math homework is coming home every night other than Friday. 

Writing: We just began the Personal Narrative writing unit.  We spent time in the immersion phase of the unit where we read lots of personal narratives.  Next week, the students will began generating ideas for their personal narratives.  

Enjoy this beautiful weekend and go Ravens!
