Thursday

Today students created poster for the 2nd grade school supplies drive. They worked in small groups and created beautiful posters.

They also pledged to prevent bullying at Bl. Pope John XXIII and signed our Pledge Poster that we will take to the kickoff on Monday.

In math we reviewed units 1-7 and tomorrow they will complete a Cum Review test. It's amazing to see how they are progressing with mental math and problem solving in their heads. It's quite amazing. Keep practicing those basic math facts. It does work better when they are applying them to equations. Students are also improving in their abilities to solve story problems.

In social studies we talked about how it's cold in some places like Pennsylvania and warm like Florida. We also compared Florida and Phoenix. We reviewed all the different landforms and looked at a landform map.

In language we are also reading a story called, "Superstorms" in reading. We are also reviewing contractions, along with making predicitions and confriming predictions in a story.
