Classroom News: Venn Diagrams, Geoboards, and Outdoor Fun!

It was a short but productive week in second grade.  In Literacy, we continued our work with informational texts.  We have been looking at books that compare and contrast animals.   Each team of students picked a book of their choice from the Who Would Win? series and filled in a Venn diagram telling the similarities and differences between the two animals in their book.  Then, each student had to decide which animal they thought had an advantage and give reasons to support their opinion. 

During math time, we have been practicing our addition and subtraction facts by playing dice games. We continued our study of geometry by making a variety of different polygons on geoboards and then recording and labeling our creations.

We also enjoyed our second Winter Wellness Thursday!  Thanks again to all of our terrific chaperones!  Our next Winter Wellness day is on Thursday, February 5th.  

Have a wonderful weekend!
