I am sorry for the delay in the post. Wednesday nights I am teaching a class at New England College right after school so it will be difficult for me to post on these nights. Next, week, however is Open House at HMS. I look forward to seeing you and your family there at 6:30 in our classroom! We have made a few fun things to share with you.
Today, we worked with Cuisenaire Rods again in math. Students are working on doubles facts and addition facts to ten. We made as many different combinations of rods that make ten. Next, we transferred the color rods to numbers in addition sentences. Some of us even could make multiplication sentences! So impressive for second graders!
Students had music in the classroom as we will every week. Mr. Levergood shares his room with Mrs. Emerson and on Wednesdays, they are double booked. Therefore, he teaches on a cart this day.
We were able to have morning meeting while eating snack and doing calendar. We also went outside to have a movement break, which we needed! Next, Mrs. Pond came in to talk about the rules for using the iPads. The exciting part was that we used an app called Doodle Buddy for a project with our Hopes and Dreams. We can't wait for you to see them on Open House!
This afternoon, Mrs. Kleiner and Mrs. Patterson came into our class to talk about a new system that we will be using beginning next week called CHICO (check in, check out). Students will monitor their behaviors for one month 3 times a day. This is a program that Mrs. Kleiner and Mrs. Patterson would like to try out with the whole second grade.
After this, we finished sharing our Me Bags. I didn't get a chance to take pictures of the children who shared today, so I kept the things until tomorrow when I can take those pictures. I will send the things home tomorrow.
