Toguchi Beach!!

We had a great short, week in 2.1! We learned about Adjectives and how they make our writing more interesting for the reader.  We also started Reading to Someone and learned how to use different reading strategies to help us become better readers.  In Math, we learned patterns to help us be able to add bigger numbers.  We also started learning the books of the Bible and which go in the Old Testament and which go in the New Testament.

Today, we had a wonderful day at Toguchi Beach!! THANK YOU to all the parents who came out and joined us! The kids really enjoyed playing at the playground and then finding some fun sea creatures in the ocean! We were able to find crabs, sea cucumbers, sea stars, and many other fun animals.
