Dec. 2

We have had a busy week doing STEAM projects. Since it is a testing week for Language Arts we do not do our normal routine for reading.  The students take what they have learned in the previous weeks reading lessons and researched about animals, while Mrs. Kitchens test. The students got to choose 1 of 5 ways to present their information. They made a display of their project by folding paper different ways to make a flip chart.

In Social Studies we are studying about cultural, traditions and the Continent Europe. The student each chooses a country in Europe and wrote about the countries Christmas traditions.

We just finished our place value unit and started money.

You can check skyward for all the new reading test scores and the math Place Value test. The student’s words per minutes for reading made drastic improvement. Please ask your students questions about what they are reading. This will help their comprehension.

We are front loading our economics unit by earning money for our Christmas store. There have been some very busy 2^nd grade producers bringing in very clever items to sale. Our class store will be in 2 weeks. The students got their first paycheck for hard work at school. The also had to subtract what they got charged on their visa card for not being on task. The students are working hard on earning enough class money to buy Christmas gifts at our class store.
