April 7-11, 2014

This past week in 2nd Grade, we wrapped up our Social Studies unit on Citizenship.  Citizenship also happens to be our character trait for the month of April for Character Counts.  For the remainder of the school year we will be working on map skills for Social Studies.  In Science, we also wrapped up our latest chapter on how matter changes.  In Math, we've been working on measurement.  Lately we've been measuring pounds, ounces, grams, and kilograms.  We've been doing hands on activities using standard and non standard units of measurement.  For writing, we wrote a Spring Acrostic Poem since April is national poetry month.  We also did a writing craftivity on if we were the Easter Bunny.  April is also Autism Awareness month and we wore our Autism shirts on April 2nd and learned more about how Autism affects people including one of our own classmates.
