April 20, 2019

I hope everyone enjoyed a fun and relaxing April Vacation!!! It’s hard to believe we are in the final stretch of our second grade journey together! I look forward to sharing the many fun and exciting events and projects we will have in our final few months together! 😊

Our Class Play! 
The children did a phenomenal job before vacation presenting our class play to Boyden School! I couldn’t be more proud of the effort and enthusiasm put forth by each child! Thank you so much for all of your support! Please enjoy the video of our play below! 



Our Class Play Family/Friends Performance πŸ–
For those who are able to attend, our class will be hosting a very special "Friends and Family" performance of our class play, "The Day the Crayons Quit" on Wednesday, April 24th at 9:00AM in the Boyden School cafeteria! We hope to see you there!

Practicing our play before the big day! 











Literacy πŸ“š

This week in literacy we will be reading the story, Horace and Morris but mostly Dolores by James Howe. Through reading this story we will continue to discuss the unit question, “What does it mean to be responsible?” We will also discuss the weekly question, “What do good friends and neighbors do?” This week we will also be reviewing the genre of Fantasy, learning about the sounds of ph and gh, applying the comprehension strategy of asking questions while reading and exploring the comprehension skill of author’s purpose. If your child would like to practice our weekly spelling words using the Spelling City website, please click here!

Daily 5 in action!


Continuing to build our growth mindsets through read alouds! The Dot was the perfect book to highlight the importance of perseverance! πŸ‘

Persuasive Crayon Writing! ✏







Math ✏
This week in math we will finish exploring the lessons in our 13th unit of study which have focused around counting money!

We read the book, Hey, Little Ant to learn more about persuasive writing! Ask your child what this book is all about and which character was trying to be persuasive to see what they have learned! πŸ‘

Grammar Scavenger Hunt!


Literature circles are underway! πŸ“™

Beautiful math artwork created during Guided Math!
