Friday News 2/25-3/1

Here's a look at our week:

Reading: This week we started learning about Main Idea and Topic. We learned how to read a story and find the topic and the main idea. Next week we will continue to practice with both fiction and nonfiction stories.

Writing: We continued working on our poems. We learned how to add comparisons to our poems to make them even better. Next week we will be picking our favorite poems to share at our 2nd Grade Poetry Slam on Friday.

Math: We have been busy learning all about graphs. This week we learned how to read bar graphs and how to make line plots.

Bible: We started our unit on the Parables of Jesus. We learned about how Jesus wants us to forgive others just as He forgives us. We also learned that Jesus wants us to love all people.
