Hello 2A Followers!

It was a great week in 2A last week!  We learned a lot about fire safety from Wayne Kerian  at the fire station!  He talked to the kids about what to do if there was a fire, who to call, how to get out as fast as possible, how to stop, drop, and roll, and the role of the firemen.  The students were also shown one of their fire trucks and all took a turn at spraying the hose.  Here are some pictures of our visit:

 IT WAS A GORGEOUS DAY FOR A WALK!

In Literacy, we have been working on unit 1 discussing our roles at home, at school, within our community and what roles we will have in the future.  We have been working on many skills and reading strategies including, long a and long i sound, contractions, author's purpose, determining important information, theme vocabulary, and inferencing.

We will be finishing unit 2 in math on Tuesday.  We have been working on addition and subtraction strategies.  The students have been doing very well with this unit!

In technology time, we worked on making popplets (which is a way to make a chart on the ipad about a certain subject).  The students could make a popplet about butterflies or the season of fall!  They did a great job creating them and sharing them with partners.  












A PEEK AT THE UPCOMING WEEK:

Dan Wardell is coming on Tuesday!  He is on Iowa Public Television and I guess he is AWESOME to see in person!  This will be a great experience for the students!

Food and Fitness class with the high school students begins on Thursday.  
They will come once a month to share wellness lessons with us!

SPELLING LIST FOR THIS WEEK:  Please practice these at home!  The test will be on Friday!



I hope you had a great weekend with your child!  
I look forward to a wonderful week of learning starting tomorrow!
