Good afternoon families,
Today we began our day with the number of the day. What was today’s number? What questions did I have to answer?
Next we discussed Fiction and Non-fiction stories and the different text features in each type of writing. We searched through some non-fiction stories and came up with a list of things that were included in non-fiction stories to help us understand what we read. What types of text-features did we find in non-fiction stories? What do they tell us? Why is this important?
Then we wrote a non-fiction page for our new “bee book”. Ask me what facts I wrote today in my book from the presentation by Mrs. Farmer on Monday.
After recess we had snack while Miss Tennis read us The Land of Stories! We have switched back to our other novel and will continue to read this story for the remainder of the school year. What is happening in the story right now?
Next we had two rounds of daily 5. Ask me what I worked on in daily 5 today. Was I focused on my work the whole time? Why or why not?
Then we had math. We had to solve a problem with our table group members. This problem used our measurements from our Vitruvian math problem. Ask me what question we had to answer and what my group discovered.
After lunch we D.E.A.R. Ask me how many books I read.
Then we had social studies with Mrs. Leonard. Ask me what we worked on in social studies today.
We ended the day with gym and music. Ask me what I did in gym and music today.
Have a fantastic evening everyone.
Love,
The grade 2s
