BIG RIG!

The Second Graders were able to visit the "Big Rig" on the playground today and choose a book of their choice to take home with them.  This Big Rig travels  across the country helping out students by supplying them with books to encourage them to read and succeed.  

Paper Airplanes in Math!?!?

In our math classes we have been focusing on measurement.  Lately, we have measured using several different units such as centimeters, inches, feet, yards are  meters.  We have been working hard with our common core math standards and decided to have a little more fun while we learned more about measuring.  Each  student made their own paper airplane and we headed to the auditorium for one day and then outside on the playground the next day to finish up our activity.  Each student threw their airplane 3 times and measured each throw using yards.  After all measurements were made students rotated to partners three different  times comparing measurements.  The Second Graders had a blast learning today!

Trip to the Fire Station!

Both Second Grade classes were able to visit the Central Stickney Fire Department together.  We learned so much about fire safety.  The firemen taught us about  how to stay safe at home when it comes to preventing a fire, showed us the inside of real fire truck and gave us some goodie bags filled with lots of fun and  educational stuff.  What a great trip!

Students taking Star Tests!

Student working on Lexia Core!

Hello! Second grade LOVES computer class! The students work on a variety of activities during computer time. We have a new computer curriculum this year and the students have been working hard learning the "home rows" on the keyboard. After they finish their computer assignment, they can explore different ways of learning Math through www.sumdog.com Some students want to focus on their reading skills so they chose to go on Lexia Core. Let's not forget Star Tests! We use our computer time to take Star Tests on our library books. Second graders should be reading their library  books every night and they should be ready to take a Star Test the following day! Remember to come prepared with your library book everyday as well!

SUM DOG-- MATH Practice at home!

For extra Math practice at home, head on over to www.sumdog.com Student have their own username and passwords located in their binder. This is a great resource to reinforce math skills at home-- and it's tons of fun too! Students will be working on this during the school day sometimes, too. I will be tracking their progress on my end so I can see what they are struggling with and what they are excelling at! If you have any questions, feel free to contact me! Thanks!
