Nov. 3-7, 2014

We've been pretty busy in 2nd grade these past two weeks.  We wrapped up October with a fun Halloween party and jumped right into November!  This past week we worked on verbs in grammar and of course kept reviewing nouns as well.  We read an African folk tale about how our body became assembled and discussed what makes a folk tale different from other genres of stories.  In math, we started addition with regrouping.  We've been practicing regrouping with addition of 2-digit numbers.  In science, we are talking about food chains and food webs.  Next week we will make our own food chain projects.  In social studies, we are reading about U.S. history and just read about the Revolutionary War.  We also discussed Veterans Day and what it means to be a veteran.  We did a craftivity where the students made eagles using their hand prints and wrote why they are thankful for our veterans.
