Today was a fabulous day in grade 2! We began making some very silly sentences during our morning smile and I am sure the students will be excited to share them with you tomorrow when they bring them home. We then read an Arthur story and worked on responding to questions without beginning with "because". Students and I practiced using part of the question in our answer because we are amazing grade 2's and can give great answers without beginning with because! I then introduced students to Flat Stanley and we read a few chapters to learn about poor Flat Stanley - we need to be careful around bulletin boards. Tomorrow we will be making our own Flat selves, so be sure to ask your child about how they got themselves to be flat! In math today we worked on a problem solving question that involved eating at the Falcon Feast - yummmmy! The students really enjoyed looking at the menu and coming up with different combinations that added up to 85 cents! We are going to continue working on problems solving with money tomorrow in class when we explore the story about Alexander, who used to be rich last Sunday.
I will also be sending home a math worksheet for homework (Wednesday night) that will have students making different coin combinations (example, 25 cents can be made up by:1) 1 quarter, 2) 25 pennies, 3) two dimes and a nickel, 4) two dimes and 5 pennies...and so much more). The students are amazing at this task and I am sure you will be impressed with their math skills!
