Friday News 4/22-4/26

We had a very exciting week in 2nd grade!

Reading: We learned about text features in nonfiction books. We learned how to use things like the Table of Contents, Index, Glossary, and Keywords to find information in nonfiction books.

Phonics: We focused on IR, ER, and UR words. We made superhero masks to remember that these three r combinations make the same sound.

Writing: We began our unit on writing like scientists. We learned some things that solids are made of. Then we used our new knowledge to build strong towers that would withstand wind. Each group made a hypothesis, built their tower, and then tested their tower on Friday.

Math: We continued learning how to measure in inches, feet, and yards. We practiced comparing different objects in length and estimating.

Bible: This week we learned about the Holy Spirit coming to the disciples. He gave them power to heal people and to not be afraid.
