Happy Crazy Socks and Shoes Day!
Students began sharing their Book Talks. All of them are so fabulous! I can't wait for the rest to be presented.
In religion we talked about the miracles of Jesus.
In math students took a time test and Chapter 8 test.
In language students took their spelling tests, dictation tests, and Weekly Assessments.
In the afternoon we began our unit on weather. We are little behind the other 2nd grades because I was waiting for some different weather. Since it doesn't look like rain anytime soon, we began today.
Tomorrow is red, white, and blue add on day.
Thursday is NOT crazy hair day, but IS crazy hat day.
Friday is World Mission Rosary day. Students in 2nd grade can wear an all white t-shirt or school shirt for the continent of Europe.

Thank you for all the beautiful cards, flowers, lunch, and balloons celebrating my half birthday! It was so fun and what a thoughtful idea. Thank you to everyone.
Students were exceptionally well behaved during Mass today. They earned a "free time" letter.
In language we began a new story about recycling. Students learned what a flow chart is and how to read it. They are also working on context clues and homophones/homonyms.
In math students learned about grams and compared different masses in grams.
I will be out of the classroom tomorrow. I will be visiting another school for their accreditation.
Don't forget Book Talks are due on Tuesday.

Students did a great job at Mass keeping their worship aides quiet so we could hear Fr. Pete.
After Mass we worked on the new vocabulary to go with our new story. In addition, students worked on the two ways to spell they short u sound with ou and oo as in could and cook. They also worked on r-controlled vowels. They also are almost finished with their winter stories. They are also creating either a picture, a poem, or a writing to enter into the Expressions of Faith contest. Students are expressing how they express their faith and what their faith means to them.
In addition, students are using the online World Book Encyclopedia accessible from the school library website to find information on a wild animal.
In math students are catching on to solving story problems. They did a pretty good job today as they worked in pairs to solve some story problems about measuring in centimeters and meters.
Box Tops contest is back on, so send in those box tops.
