Word Work, Properties of Matter, and Proper Nouns

What a busy week!

In the Science Lab we had some great matter stations. The students explored the properties of solids, liquids,and gases. Back in class we took a closer look at liquids. We had a variety of liquids for them to observe and touch. Including hand sanitizer,glue,oil,and maple syrup.The students choose one of the liquids to describe.







Second graders are responsible for capitalizing holidays,geographical locations, and products. This week we focused on products. They named specific cereals, sodas ,candy, and crackers. The groups worked together to come up with specific products for each category and reminded each other to capitalize.




In class students have the opportunity to practice their spelling words. We call these centers Word Work.They are part of our Daily 3.

RAZ Kids and Our Mission Statement

I have taped your child's RAZ kids login and password on the cover of their agenda. This is an online reading program you can access at home and your child will be using at school. The books your child can access are on their reading level. They can choose to listen to the stories, read to themselves, and take a quiz. If they miss any questions on their quiz they can go back and correct their answers to earn more points.
 For students whose class numbers are  1-13
