Fall Is In The Air

Second grade has enjoyed the cooler weather this week! We even practiced our spelling words with chalk on the brick path. We always look for opportunities to enjoy the outdoors!

In art, the class has been learning different ways to draw dinosaurs with Mrs. McCarley. There are some excellent artists in our class.

Recently, the students counted to 1,000 to begin a new mathematics unit covering place value. The students were challenged to figure out efficient and effective strategies to count 1,000 straws. They discovered bundling straws into units of 10, then 100 was a great way to keep track. This was a very fun introduction to place value!

We are wrapping up our first reading unit. We have discussed what it means to be a good teammate and we are learning a lot about working together by using our unique skills and abilities. Second grade is a blast!
