Citizenship Projects

The 2nd graders are working hard on their final citizenship projects! They each got to pick a partner (or work in a group of 3), choose an area of the school, come up with a rule for that area and decide on a consequence for breaking that rule. Next, they got to choose a type of technology they want to use to demonstrate their rule. The kiddos spent a couple of days planning their projects together before they got a chance to put it into action with the technology. We can't wait to see how they turn out!

Curriculum Updates!

The 2nd graders have been working hard over the past 2 weeks! In math, we are focusing on building our number sense through math games. Some of our new games are on paper and others are on our ipads. Knowing these math games and the expectations for playing them will help us be prepared for when we start math stations. 

In Tech Time, Mr. J. taught us about digital citizenship and our digital footprint. We are ready for our ipads!

In writing, we have started working on narratives through "small moments." The 2nd graders have already started writing a 5 page short story!

In Social Studies, we have been learning about citizenship. The kiddos partnered up to read about different things that make us good citizens and then jigsawed to share their understandings with everyone else. 

As part of our community building within our classroom, the first graders shared their "Me Bags" from home. Afterwards, the 2nd graders took pictures of each of their items and have started putting them into a "book creator" book. We will later share these books on SeeSaw. Very exciting! 

We also celebrated Mrs. P.'s birthday this week! We are so lucky to have her in our room for a large portion of every day! Happy Birthday, Mrs. P.!
