Back to school . . . finally!!

Wow!  It was great to finally be back at school today!  Despite our Two Hour Delay, we got right down to business in second grade this morning. During Math, we reviewed our understanding of U.S. coins and equivalent amounts.  Check out these links to sing along with the One Penny Song and to play the Coin Matching Game we enjoyed this morning.

During Indoor Recess, some of our second grade friends were busy in the Block Area.




During Reading Workshop, we explored the text features that help readers to understand Non-Fiction.  We are about to launch a new Writing Workshop unit titled, Lab Reports and Science Books, so an exploration of non-fiction books is a good way to give our brains a "warm-up" for this important work.

And here's a picture of the chart we created after looking carefully at a wide variety of non-fiction books.
