This Week in 2nd Grade

Writing
We studied biographies this week. Students interviewed an adult and used that information to put together a biography. Here are a few hanging in the hall.

Language Arts
We can make words with "ir", "ur", and "er" on the SmartBoard.

 Our story of the week was called "Scarcity." We read through the story together and discussed the ways our lives can change when resources are scarce.

These students are rereading our story of the week with a partner.

Red Ribbon Week
We made posters for Red Ribbon Week with the help of Miss Taylor. Miss Taylor is our Northern Wolf we adopted from NSU! She visits us and helps us out every Tuesday morning.

Here is our final project. We made sunglasses as the theme for Red Ribbon Week is
 "Our Future is Bright-No Drugs in Sight"

Math
We studied quadrilaterals and right angles. We had fun drawing many rectangles and making even more on our geoboards.


We used 16 tiles to make these different rectangles pictured below.



 Here students were given many different sized rectangles. They used tiles to find how to order the rectangles from biggest to smallest according to their area. 

Spiders decorate our room this week!
