Get the Facts! :)

 2nd Graders are learning their math facts!  By the end of the year, our hope is that all students will know the addition facts up to sums of 20!  Today we looked at some strategies to memorize them and talked about properties of addition.  Great job, mathematicians!

Kindness Boomerang

 2nd graders are working on building kindness and recognizing it in the world around them.  How can I be a helper?  How does it feel to spread kindness?  .....and how does the kindness we give out make its way back to us....

Here is a little video we shared today that helped us think about this very important learning and life lesson.  We hope you enjoy it.

Best,

-The RES 2nd Graders






Math Time is Fun Time!

 Today in math we continued working on our math "counting strips" and other fun enriching activities!  There was some serious teamwork and kindness going around as we closed out our session!  (a friend needed a little help with her project!)  Both exciting and heartwarming! What an amazing group of 2nd graders!

Meeting our Goals!

 As kids meet expectations and reach classroom goals we get to light bulbs as part of our school project to earn celebrations!  Here is Mrs. B's class lighting their first bulb as they were traveling to PE class this week!  Way to go, kids!



Reading Time!

 Kids are learning how to read-to-self during our Reading Workshop time.  They are settling in and enjoying some "just-right" books that help them do their best and most productive reading.  We're building our reading stamina, too!  























Second Graders are Learning about Math Tools!

 Our kids spent some time this week learning some of our math tools and exploring what we can do with them.  It was a lot of fun!
