During math, we used our Monster Mamas and Monster Children to create math problems in small groups for other classmates to solve. Try some of our problems! Remember you must explain how you got the answer. Is there another way to solve it?

We have been working really hard during math preparing for double digit addition with regrouping. Before we started, we reviewed math addition strategies. Our Monster Mamas and Children were reviewing adding doubles! Listen to our VoiceThreads for our mathematical equations!

During math, we wrote number sentences about a Monster Mama and Monster Child based on the book My Monster Mama Loves Me by Laura Leuck, Illustrated by Mark Beuhner. Listen to our VoiceThread to Fernando as he describes his monsters!

We just began our Structures of Life science unit! What do you think the frogs will need to survive?

Working hard during ELD time

Ms. Andrea had kiddos illustrate their vocabulary words during ELD.

Our personal narrative writing was a big success! The students wrote on special paper with different colored pens to personalize their stories. Those who finished early added a picture to illustrate their best or worst day. Many of the published stories are out in the hallway for everyone to view! Great job second grade!

Ms. Andrea

The school year is off to a great start. We have been working so hard, in reading we have been learning about how take care of a pet. In writing, we wrote about our best and worst day with Ms. Andrea sharing the day her dog got hit by a car. During math, we are already adding and subtracting double digit numbers!!! However, much to our surprise we had a few very interesting arrivals in our classroom...frogs. We are housing the frogs for a science unit. So, feel free to post a comment about the things we have been learning.
