February 27 Update

Writing:

The kids are learning all about Hudsonville History during writing time, so we can write our own Non-fiction Hudsonville History Books.  They are really getting into looking at old photographs, and hearing some familiar names...Hughes ring a bell?

Math:

We are learning all about shapes right now.  Have your child tell you some different triangles and quadrilaterals.  Can they tell you about right, acute, and obtuse angles?

You are Special Month:

Let me know if your child wants a special person to come for their day!  We can figure out a time that works best if so!


The kids had a great time "buying" things at the Second Grade Store Today!  We will definitely do this again throughout the year, so if you have things you want to get rid of, we would LOVE to take those off your hands!





The kids have also been having fun with Mrs. Stefanich's Challenges!  Here are some pictures from what we have done so far!

Writing: The kids are busy working on their small moments.  This week we learned how to write four different leads (talking,action, snapshot, and question), ask your child which one they chose to use for their writing.  We also learned how to write transition words to keep our writing in order.  Next week we will continue to write these small moments, and learn how to write a good wrap up for the ending. Math: The kids are working on making partners for 20 (example: 16+4=20).  Ask your child to come up with as many ways they can add two numbers to equal 20...yes, 0+20 counts!  We have also been talking about even and odd numbers, can your child tell you how they know if a number is even or odd? Phonics: The kids have been learning about the r controlled vowel and how it can be a little tricky!  (We call it the Rascal R).  There are so many words that sound like the er, but are actually spelled with an ir or ur (for example bird, or...burp...they loved ...

 Writing: The kids finished up writing letters to different people about books they think the recipient of the letter would like.  They wrote to Mrs. Stefanich, their first grade teacher, a friend, and a family member.  They delivered these letters to people they wrote these to, so if you were a recipient of such a letter, it may be fun to write back to your child.  We ended the week by looking back at our first letter to Mrs. Stefanich which was graded, and rewrote it to make it even better to see how our scores will change. Math: We have been measuring a lot in second grade.  We measured with feet, yards, and inches.  Next week, we will take a check point on what we have been learning, and then we will continue with this unit a few days after Winter Break, and take our test within that first week back. Phonics: Research has shown that kids learn best when they are having fun, and having fun is what we are doing!  We are learning so many fun games to ...

Writing: The kids finished their writing that they have been working on for two weeks!  We learned how to write different words other than said (we put said to bed), and how to 'show, not tell' in our writing, and even wrote onomatopoeia!  I can't wait to read their stories over the weekend. Phonics: We got a new student!  Meet Gus!  Gus is going to help us with Phonics this year, and he already fits in great with our class! Spelling: A paper came home with each of the kids today with a list of spelling words.  The words that don't have a star by them, are words that they didn't spell correctly, and parent volunteers will come and "test" your child on those throughout the year.  You can keep this copy of words at home to help your child practice. Math: We are working on adding and subtracting up to 20.  The homework that is going home will help with some more practice on what we are doing in class. Reading: I was able to do one of my favorite things th...
