We had a busy week in 2.1! In Reading class we worked on making inferences.  We started with sentences and then moved to making inferences from books.  It was a lot of fun to be detectives and search for clues as to what the author was trying to say! For writing, we finished up our unit on Procedural Writing and made a How To book.  The students had a good time writing and illustrating their books.  For Math, we continued to talk about addition strategies and also discussed temperature in both Fahrenheit and Celsius.  In Bible, we continued our discussion about the Sermon on the Mount.  We learned that Jesus wants us to love everyone, even those who are not nice to us and that we are to pray for others.

Next week we will be gaining a new student in our class. We are very excited to welcome her to our classroom and show her how we do things here in 2.1 and at OCSI!
