This week we lived amongst the tissue paper! If you had walked into the classroom, you would have seen an explosion of color all over the floor, across tabletops, and even on skin! Students wrote Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall poems and created a half summer, half fall scene using a stand alone black tree. The colors really pop out on the black background. The goal was to match the order of the poem with the design. Hope you enjoy!
Please be sure to check out the other pages, as there are updates on those as well. On Monday, October 23rd, I will send home the same reading log for home practice, but now there will be a math practice log on the reverse side. You will also see a packet titled "Suggestions for Math Practice," along with directions for several games that can be played at home. Many of these games are ones the children have already played in class and practice addition fact strategies. Some of the games we will be playing in class next week so they will quickly become familiar and ones that can then be played at home. Also, please read the update on the Math page on the blog, there is information about a fact fluency app called, "Xtramath." Directions for how to set your child up with this app at home were sent home today. It is completely OPTIONAL, but a quick way for second graders to practice fluency also.
Kids & Community
We will wrap up our 5 week program next week with students receiving the last 5 community member cards and an assembly on Friday afternoon. Some community members will continue to come in and visit classrooms, read stories, or have lunch, but the bulk of the program will be coming to an end next week.
