This Week in 2nd Grade

Math
Our new unit on number sense begins with addition story problems. We write the equation that represents the math story. Here are a few different ways students solved 24 +12.

We worked with partners to play a new game called Close to 20. Everyone is dealt 5 cards. We must chose three that can be added together equaling as close to 20 as possible. Then we record our equation, our answer, and how close to 20 we were able to get.


 Art
Students listen to instructions from our awesome art teacher.

Language Arts
We have been spending this week reviewing all of unit 2. Here a student fills in the blank with high frequency words we have been studying.


 Science
 Our science unit on matter is coming to a close. We have been learning about the properties of solids, liquids, and gasses. 

Gym
Students are working on balance and gymnastic skills during gym class this week.
