A Day in Our Classroom

We've been polishing our measurement skills in math. Look at our pictures to see us use both nonstandard and standard measurement tools. Our literacy groups have been reading about Forest Animals. We chose an animal and visited one of our Computer Labs to gather information about our animal. Using an online resource, we read and used a graphic organizer to record our findings. Later on we will use this information to write a report. We certainly enjoy using the computers. In the last pictures you will see us reading a book at TumbleBooks.

Snapshots of Our World....Math & Literacy Activities with Apples

Using food is a fun way to practice our math skills. This special Apple Activity provided opportunities to work as a team to problem solve, sort, count,and compare numbers. We're learning how to use adjectives to make our writing more descriptive, so smelling, touching, and tasting these yummy apples helped us create some interesting descriptions. We love to eat! Our crockpot applesauce turned out to be a hit, even for those who said they didn't like applesauce before.

Second Grade SNAPSHOTS

It's hard to believe we've been in second grade for 6 weeks! We have been quite busy in our classroom. Take a look at one of our technology projects using Oreo cookies. Our class joined students around the globe to determine how many cookies we could stack before our towers tumbled. We used estimation, counting, and problem solving as we worked in teams. Later on we used our cookies to complete a writing activity. Of course we enjoyed the yummy treats too!
