Reading: This week in Reading we focused on Asking Questions while reading to help us improve our comprehension. We talked about different question words and how to think of good questions. We were able to read several stories and practice asking questions.
Writing: In Writing we learned about Adjectives. We learned that adjectives are words that describe nouns. On Thursday we had the chance to have some popcorn and come up with words to describe it using our five senses. Then on Friday we continued to practice by identifying if different words were nouns or adjectives.
Math: For Math we focused on multiplication this week. We learned how to count things that are in equal groups and how to draw and read arrays. We will be finishing up our unit next week and taking our Unit 6 Test on Thursday.
Bible: This week in Bible we learned that Jesus has the power to forgive our sins. We learned that when we ask Jesus to forgive our sins He removes them far away from us. The two miracles we studied this week were Jesus healing a man who was paraylzed and Jesus healing a man with a withered hand.
Spelling Bee: This week we had our 2.1 Spelling Bee! All the students did a wonderful job of remembering their words and trying their best. We had five students who knew all of the 2nd grade words and so we had to move on to the 3rd grade words. Today we finally got our top 3. Congratulations to Keyra Gonzalez, Andy Qi, and Ryo Sugioka for making the top 3. And congratulations to Terato Miyazato and Rino Komesu for making the top 5!
