Animals everywhere!

This week we started learning all about animals and the different groups they belong to. The kids started researching an animal today and will begin making a fact poster all about their animal after all their notes are gathered. These will look so great in the hallway!

We are continuing to work on plane shapes, congruency, and symmetry. Next week we will start working with geometric shapes.

We Love Learning!

Last week we started math stations for the first time and it went great! We started learning about plane shapes. Here are some of the kids in action:

Raiana, Jaz'myn, and Destiny are making shapes during guided group.

Sarah and Celest, also working in guided group, counting the sides and vertices of their shapes.

Here is Alexis, Katelyn, Austin, Mariah, and Shea playing an addition dice game.

Could you name all these shapes??

We also read a story in our readingbooks called A Harbor Seal Pup Grows Up. The kids really enjoyed this story about a Harbor Seal pup that was lost. We spent time learning about Harbor Seals. Here is Nate and Raiana working on their four square chart:

Meet Owen!

Our class did it again! I wrote another grant for our classroom titled, The Life of a Tortoise. The grant was to purchase a Russian Tortoise and the complete habitat. It was funded in less than a day! Wednesday night I was off to PetSmart to find our new friend!

The class decided to name him Owen! He was a little nervous his first day but on Friday he was out quite a bit getting to know the kids.

Eagle Creek Trip

This past Thursday we took our field trip to Eagle Creek Park. We learned about woodland animals, insects, and did a nature walk with a guide.

After lunch the kids all went on a scavenger hunt, finding all sorts of things in nature.

Family Math Night!

Tonight was our first go at an evening family event and it was a success! We had our first Family Math Night. We had several math games for the family to play, popcorn to eat, and Gold Tickets to pass out! Mrs. Elmore took several pictures that I hope I can get uploaded to the website. We are already planning on having another family night sometime in the future!

Second grade is going on a field trip this Thursday to Eagle Creek Park. We will be visiting the Nature Center and going on a Nature Walk. We will then have a picnic lunch at an outdoor shelter where the kids will go on a nature scavenger hunt!

The past few weeks we have been learning a lot about plants! So far we have painted portraits of flowers and labeled the parts, made leaf animals, and planted carrots, cucumbers, sunflowers, and sweet peas in miniature greenhouses! We can't wait to see how they grow!
