We had a great week this week with Student-Led Conferences and our Field Trip to the Aquarium. Thank you for coming to our conferences and allowing us to share what we have been learning in 2nd grade! Thank you also to all the parents who came to our field trip today to help!

Math: We started learning about time. We learned how to tell time to the hour and half hour.
