 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.

Writing: The second graders are off to a great start writing persuasive letters. They have the structure pretty much figured out. They write great beginnings and use transition words pretty consistently. Where everyone needs to improve is in volume. They just need to say more to be more persuasive! We will work on adding details and examples next week! Fancy Purple Pen Award: Congratulations to our to recipients of the Fancy Purple Pen for their non-fiction pieces.  Axel did an outstanding book about axolotls, and Harper did one all about bugs!  They are your go-to experts Math: We did so much measuring this week! We measured objects in the room with teacher feet and then with giant feet.

We will continue to work on both estimating and measuring accurately next week. Reading: In reading this week we explored ways to figure out the tricky word...
