January 12

Our new year is off to a great start! Students have been working with their math partners to create board games incorporating multi-digit addition.  We have been focusing on multiple strategies to solve multi-digit addition problems.  Next week we will build on what we have learned by re-grouping 10 ones when needed and 10 tens when needed.

The students have been busy being actors and directors during our Fairy Tales, Folktales, and Fantasy unit.  Students have been studying characters' strong emotions, personalities, and even magic!

You will never believe what these second graders are doing . . . they are writing gripping, edge of your seat, realistic fiction stories! Be sure to ask your student about some of the stories they have been creating.
