Choir Performance
Congratulations to our second graders for an outstanding choir performance! We loved seeing students’ confidence shine through as they gained more experience performing on stage! Second graders have been practicing these songs for months and it was amazing seeing them smile and sing proudly to their audience. Thank you to everyone who came out!
Math Review
We are excited to announce that second graders have completed their last math unit! During these next couple of weeks, students will be reviewing all we have learned throughout the year. One highlight of math this week was reviewing measurement. In the beginning of the year second graders partnered with each other and measured how tall they were using string and then measuring that string. This week we had students measure their height again with partners using a new string and measuring that string. Students then found the difference in height of their two strings to calculate how much they have grown in second grade! Students wowed themselves with how much they have grown in math and in inches!
Book Authors
In our final writing unit second graders are writing their own realistic fiction stories! Students are creating their own story from the inside out instead of beginning to end. First students decided the genre of their story, then built their main characters, supporting characters, and then the setting. Second graders went into detail to explain the appearance of their main character(s) and their personality and characteristics. It is exciting to see second graders’ creativity shine and build their realistic fiction story as they go. The goal of this unit is to help students focus on the details in characters, setting, and supporting characters to teach them how important these roles play in building a story.
