Another great week in 2nd grade! Thank you to all who came this morning for the Parent Observation Time.  I hope that you were able to see a little bit of what our classroom is like and that you enjoyed your visit!

This week we started practicing for our Christmas Program in December so our classroom has been full of Christmas music! :)

In Reading this week, we focused on Chunking Sounds and Letters together to help us read words.  The students did a great job or breaking up their words into smaller parts and then putting them back together.  We have seen great improvement in our reading over these last few months! In Writing, we continued with Procedural Writing and the students got to choose what they would like to write about.  We discussed the importance of giving lots of details and being very specific to help our readers understand better.  In Math we had our Unit 3 Test and started Unit 4 which will focus more on strategies that can be used in addition and subtraction.  For Bible class, we talked about Jesus calling His disciples and what it means for us to be a disciple of Jesus today.  We also started our discussion of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount and how it applies to our lives today.  Today we had the opportunity to "travel" to Egypt and the students had fun learning about both Ancient and Modern Egypt.

Important Information:

1. WALKATHON is next SATURDAY, NOVEMBER15th.  More information was sent home today for those who are walking.  If you would like to walk and haven't signed up yet, there is still time to do so.  Please send in the money to me with your student.

Have a wonderful weekend!
