Second Grade is Sweet!: First Full Week!

This was our first full week and it seemed to fly by!

We've settled into our normal routine and the class is showing lots of enthusiasm for what we are learning.

We played same games to make phonics fun...

We learned some new vocabulary words...

We spent time reading and discussing some stories. The students practiced making predictions and also making connections between what they already know and what they are learning through reading.

The students also began writing a story about their morning routines. It is so fun to learn more about each student through their writing!

In Social Studies we are learning about government leaders. We discussed the qualities of good leaders and the blessing we have of living in a country where we get to vote for our leaders.

The students voted for who they thought were good leaders in our class. The votes were tallied, and the winners were...

Cade and Micah!

They "led" us in a game of Simon Says before we got to work learning about the leaders of our country.

We continued learning about God's creation of plants in science...

Two thumbs up for Owen's plant model!

Oliver and Elena working together to see how water moves through plants. We put celery stalks and flowers in colored water, we are excited to see what happens after the weekend!

The students brought in different leaves from home to make leaf rubbings...
