This Week in 2nd Grade


Earth Day: Paper Mache Globes
In the beginning, we weren't so messy!

 Not long after we started, the mess was uncontrollable, but we loved it! 
Thanks Miss Deibert for your help! :)

 Hard at work

 I got sloppy too!

NEWSPAPERS GALORE! 
Thank you families and staff for donating the newspapers for our paper mache project. We had an overwhelming number of people help us out. THESE ARE OUR LEFTOVERS! It looks like we have some recycling to do!


 Sign Language with Miss Roggow
We try to do one sign language class a month. This month we signed words and phrases relating to Earth Day.

Making Words
Here we are making words with fun fonts on the SmartBoard. 
This week we studied words that have au, augh, and aw.

Math Games
We played a few math games this week to help us review place value up to the thousands place. We also played a very fun game reviewing subtraction. A deck of cards can be a great tool in helping develop and review math skills.



Humorous Fiction
We have read many examples of humorous fiction stories this week. This has been one of our favorite genres this year. The Day Jimmy's Boa Ate the Wash, The Signmaker's Assistant, and any Robert Munsch book seemed to top our list of favorites! Seeing these great examples will help us write our own humorous fiction stories as we move into next week.


 Bald Eagles
We have been following a family of bald eagles from Minnesota. You can follow the eagles live at www.mnbound.com.
