This past week in 2nd Grade we started working with fractions, continued with contractions, and made Super Bowl and Groundhog predictions.  We also worked on the proper way to write a title and worked on what makes a sentence a complete sentence not just a fragment.  I expect that all answers be written in a complete sentence on papers from here on out for the rest of the year.  We are going to be working hard this second semester to become "grown up" second grade writers.  Math facts are still important to be practicing and money/time will continue to be reviewed through out the rest of the year along with all our other math concepts.  The class voted and graphed the results of what they think the groundhog will see...shadow or no shadow.  On Monday we'll discuss what Phil found out.  Speaking of weather, we'll also have our next science test on Monday about our chapter on weather.  The children made Super Bowl predictions and a craftivity to go with it.  The majority of the class picked the Bronco's to win, so we'll also find out on Monday if the majority was right!
