Update - October 1

 What a beautiful week!

In our Rooted in Reading Series, we read and discussed the story When I Was Young in the Mountains.  This story takes place in the Appalachian Mountains.  A perfect lead in to our skill of the week - Setting.  We discussed how important the Setting is to the story and how much this story would have to change if it happened in Fairview Park in 2021!  In Grammar, we looked at nouns - the difference between Proper Nouns (which we will look at next week) and General Nouns was a difficult concept for second graders.  We worked hard and Mrs. Horner is pleased with the results :)

 

Since they purchased their butter from the General Store in our story, we tried making our own butter!

In Math, we looked at different strategies we could use to help us subtract a little faster.  We hope this shows in our xtra math scores!  We ended the week reviewing addition and subtraction facts to help get us ready for an assessment next week.

In Handwriting, we are continuing to review the correct way to make lower case letters - concentrating on shape and spacing!

In Religion, we are beginning a chapter that reminds us we are Catholics and belong to the Catholic Church which has 7 sacraments - we will concentrate on Baptism next week!

In Science, we are learning about he Scientific Process.  This week we used bubbles to help us put our experiment in the Scientific Process formula.  We began with the Question - Does the shape of the wand determine what the bubble looks like?  Ask your child what the conclusion was :)

 

On Thursday, we had our first Faith Family meeting.  Since these second graders have not had a Faith Family meeting since Kindergarten, we took a tour of the school to see where all the rooms are so we could find our group - Success!  Not one of us got lost :)
