Good afternoon! I know I haven't blogged for a whole month! Sorry about that!! I have been trying to keep the HomePage of the class website updated weekly. BE SURE to check there often to see what's the newest news in Room 201.
We have had a busy week in 2nd grade. We began the week by attending music rehearsal for our program. The show was on Tuesday and it was awesome! I am so proud of how well my class sang and participated. I'm so lucky I also got to participate. Thanks for all of the positive feedback about that! Great job to Mr. Sachs, too. He is a super energetic guy and we have truly enjoyed his work at Brubakerthis year.
On Tuesday afternoon, several of our class members participated at the Grand Blue Mile in downtown Des Moines. Those kiddos earned that chance by running miles and miles around our jog/walk trail throughout the school year. Thanks to The McFaddens and Pat Webb for orchestrating this program! They promise to do it again next year!
In reading we are working on unit 6 which includes understanding the 5-W questions...Who, What, When, Where, Why and How about stories. We also are working on summarizing those stories. This week we read Moses Goes to the Concert. It's been fun to work on those comprehension strategies.
In writing we are still working on writing poetry. This week we tried writing poems with movement and sound words. We also read poems where the writer compared one thing to another. You can ask your child about the clouds/sheep poem and the rain/mouse poem. :)
In math we are working on adding and subtracting up to 1, 000. We also are trying to understand how to balance equations. That can be tricky. We will continue to practice our strategies in real life problems, too!
Finally, in SCIENCE we have hatched Painted Lady Butterflies! We have followed them through their metamorphosis and we will now watch the adults fly around in thier indoor habitat. We wil release them soon.
I hope you are all doing well. If you have any questions, or nice t
