Mrs. Bloomfield's Second Grade : Week 26

February 27, 2017

Happy Monday Bighorns,

Well...we are back to a full work week AND we should be finished with homework sheets for the MOST part! We will begin the week with telling time! The second grade standard is to: tell and write time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest 5 minutes, differentiating between a.m and p.m.

Last week we focused on Partial Sums and Differences with Renaming a number. The students did a great job working together and coaching their teamates! We even held a relay race with addtion problems as we worked together towards ACCURACY not who was the first group finished!

This has been a gigantic math standard to work on and Miss Garcia and myself are so proud of the students. They have worked so hard on adding and subtracting numbers within 1,000. We will test this standard on Monday and then begin time.

Homework for the week of February 27th - March 2nd...

Monday	IXL - Q.1 Match analog clocks and times
Tuesday	IXL - Q.2 Match digital clocks and times
Wednesday	IXL - Q.3 Match analog and digital clocks
Thursday	Q.4 Read clocks: hour and half hour/half past

Language- We are still learning about when and where to use the apostrophe. We have finished with the apostrophe’s role in contractions

Writing - Our writing work has been very related to our project as students are researching their decades. The writing involved has been filling in information on their notetakers and writing captions to go with their pictures.

Projects - Students are gathering lots of information on their decade. As they are learning more about their decade it has been very cool to listen to the connections they are making as they share some of the facts they are learning.

Last week was National FFA (Future Farmers of America) Week. The High School students involved with FFA and the F-H students, brought their animals to school and spoke to the students about their animal project. Our second graders got to see and hear about horses, steers, sheep, goats, and working dogs.
