We had another great week in 2.1! We were able to finish up some of our units and start some new ones.  Here's a look at what we did this week:

Reading: In Reading we finished our unit on Author's Purpose.  This week we read several different books and the students had to identify why the author wrote the story.

Writing: Last week we began learning about research writing.  We divided into groups to study the different continents.  This week we spent our time finishing up our research and then making posters to show what we learned.

Math: This week we continued our study of fractions.  We learned how to make fractions of groups and we started learning about equivalent fractions.

Bible: In Bible we finished our unit on the miracles of Jesus.  We learned about Jesus healing 10 men who had a skin disease and about Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead.  On Thursday we finished our unit by making puzzles to show what we have learned about Jesus' power.
