Hello 2A Followers!

We had a great week of learning last week and look forward to another one this week.  We are on the second week of unit 2 in literacy.  Our theme question for unit 2 is "How is science a part of our community?"  Within the unit, we have read about how communities are built, how people in the community use tools and technology, how nature is a part of science and our community, and how science helps us get around in our community.   We have been working on determining important information, descriptive language, plural and proper nouns, and long vowels.



In math, we have been working on change to more problems and part, part, total problems.  We have also worked on reading temperatures and reviewing money.

We have been working hard on learning about the writing process.  The chart below shows you the different steps of the writing process.  They begin writing by brainstorming for ideas, then begin their first draft; next they begin editing by deciding what they want to add or change.   The next step is having a teacher or peer conference to help with editing and then they move on to revising.  Their last step is to decide how they want to publish their writing.

2A is THANKFUL with  Grateful Hearts!  
This will be the theme of our doorway, proudly showing off these very creative turkeys!
