This Week in 2nd Grade

Writing
This week we worked on comparing and contrasting. The students asked themselves, "How are Santa and I alike, and how are we different?" Here are a few of our writing examples.






Math
This week we are learning about place value. We use 10 sticks and singles, connecting cubes, and even drawings to represent two-digit numbers.

Students work independently on their daily math assignment.


Students also worked together counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s.


 Indoor Recess
We have spent quite a few recesses indoors this week. Here a group of boys are building vehicles with a set of Magnetix magnets.

A group of girls find it fun to build an obstacle course out of geoblocks.


Language Arts
In language arts this week, students are studying verb tenses. They are cutting out cards labeled with a verb, and they must decide if the verb is written in the past tense, present tense, or future tense.
