We have 2 weeks of grade 2 behind us.  This week we wrote about being "Master Team Builders".  Each student described what they do to make our team run smoothly such as, showing good listening, sitting "ten, fold and hold", having "fish lips" (ask your kids about this!), cooperating, etc.  We also started our Scaredy Squirrel Community Study.  Scaredy Squirrel is quite a worry-wart and has a lot of fears about leaving the comfort of his nut tree.

During math this week we did an activity called "Spill the Beads".  It helped to teach us how to count in a more efficient way using a ten frame.  On Thursday, we figured out place value number puzzles and then got to make some puzzles of our very own.

We started watching a video on Solids, Liquids and Gases during Science but we haven't finished it yet.  We are looking forward to all the upcoming experiments related to matter!

It is also important to mention that we had library on Tuesday and that our books are due back to school on Wed., Sept. 24th, day 5.

It was another great week at school!

Sincerely,
Mrs. Shabaga
