This Week in 2nd Grade

Our Pirate Themed Literacy Night
We had a wonderful time celebrating literacy by taking our students on a treasure hunt. We learned many useful comprehension skills along the way! Here are a few of us teachers in our pirate garb!

Reindeer Verbs
Tagxedo is a computer program used to create word clouds in different shapes. All we had to do was create and type a list of words, in this case we did verbs that relate to reindeer. Tagxedo arranged them in this unique way to take the shape of a reindeer. 

Silent reading time


Adding 2-digit numbers

Busy mathematicians 

We have had the pleasure of having a junior field student from NSU observing our class the last few weeks. She present a lesson on animal groups during one of her last days in our classroom. Students were able to bring stuffed animals from home. We talked about our animals and how we could group them based on their characteristics. It was a blast!
