Updates

We've been hard at work in second grade.  Miss Bossi is teaching us more about the continents and oceans.  See if your child can tell you the difference between a continent and a country!   Each child in class is hiding somewhere in the world.  Each day Miss Bossi gives clues and the class then uses their map skills to figure out where each classmate is hiding! Check it out! 

The Big Bad Blow Dryer Challenge

We've been working on properties of matter in science.  The kids were challenged to design a house that would withstand the BIG, BAD BLOWDRYER.  Ask them what properties of matter were important when building their houses.  Check out how their houses held up!   

Our Latest Scientists

Check out the latest experiments from two amazing scientists: Ava and Annabelle!

What's New In Room 22?

We've been busy at work since our December break.     Folktales has been our focus during reading.  Ask your child to tell you some of the "ingredients" to a folktale!  I am really excited to see how our cereal box book folktale reports come out.  Just a reminder, this project is due January 25th.

We are also becoming more accurate and fluent readers.  During reading, we've been working on strategies that help us to figure out meanings of unknown words. Encourage your child to try these strategies when reading at home.

In writing, we've been working on a variety of strategies to make our narratives more exciting. One way is to "show don't tell" how we are feeling.  Look at our show don't tell posters!  

Be on the look out for our mitten suspense writing!  We will be posting these soon!
