This past week in 2nd grade, we started our new chapter in math on measurement.  We have been using standard and nonstandard units to measure object and have also learned about square units when measuring area.  We did a lot of review for grammar/phonics over concepts we had previously covered.  We also did our written test then our oral spell-off to determine our top two spellers that get to go to the county spelling bee in April.  In science, we've been talking a lot about matter and changes in matter.  A previous writing craftivity that we did was make leprechauns using orange hand prints for the beards then writing a story describing how we would catch a leprechaun.  We focused on sequencing using such words as first, next, then, and last in our writing.
