Updates and Reminders

We have some fun things happening at school this week! Check out the reminders:

Tuesday: Panther Apparel and/or colors day
Wednesday: Walk the Halls

Thursday: School Store and Reading Night after school

A few more updates:

*As noted in the previous post: This week, our class will go to Mrs. Bender's room during Science time. They will be learning about magnets. (Mrs. Bender's class will go to Ms. Mikle's class to learn about Light and Heat and Ms. Mikle's class will come to me to learn about Sound. We will rotate again in two weeks so that every 2nd grader will have experienced each unit.) 

*In math, the students have officially started unit 3. They have been working on measurement with centimeters and inches. They needed a little extra practice with remembering to start from the 0 instead of the 1 when drawing lines. This would be a great thing to practice at home! The 2nd graders have also been focusing on the difference between a square and a rectangle. They learned that a square has four equal sides with four right angles. A rectangle has opposite sides of equal length and four right angles. 

*Throughout the day, we have been working on growing as learners. We have been choosing our own learning spots each day and focusing on where we learn best in the classroom. We have also been working on setting goals. More information will be coming out on this as the year progresses.
