Hello 2F Families!
We had a busy week last week. With the snow day mid-week, we were making up for lost time! Students are continuing their study of multiplication and division. We are putting their knowledge to the test by working on word problems involving these operations. It really tests their understanding when they can look at a problem and decide whether it is a multiplication or division story problem. We will be testing on this soon and moving into another chapter of multiplication.
Tomorrow is the 100th day of school! We will do some fun math around this topic. Today we had Mrs. Jones come in and do work with the 100 board. That was fun! We did puzzles.
In writing we are working on our nonfiction piece about the Arctic or Antarctic animal. Lessons have included how to write descriptively inside nonfiction, how to order your notes so that they make sense in a paragraph and today was how to elaborate! Great stuff. The pieces of writing are coming along! We will be typing the final products. In fact, we have started typing pieces and revising as we go.
Our work in reading is revolving around problem and solution in a story. Our write about reading is focusing on this skill this week.
We have begun a new science (Yahoo!) unit on Magnets. We will do some experiments and activities around this topic in the next weeks before vacation.
Please remember Valentine's Day is Friday. Our party will be in the afternoon. Thanks for the sign ups of donations! I think we are all set. The class list went home for names of classmates. Let me know if you need another one!
Have a super week!
