We've enjoyed another busy week in room 205. During math centers we explored strategies for making 10. Mastering these facts will help us to add and subtract more efficiently.

Everyone is enjoying Humphrey. He's the main character in the chapter book we're reading. He stars in a whole series of books. Mrs. Abruzzesi has the set in our library.
We completed our first multimedia project. Our posters combine photographs, writing and paint. They will be on display at Open House, September 28.
Writing is in full swing. We continue to write to our families each Friday, respond to prompts in our journals, and we just wrote our first fictional story. Students who needed a little inspiration, spun the story wheel first.
We have a FULL curriculum in second grade but as busy as we we are, we still find time to foster individual curiosities. Based on the premise of Genius Hour used by companies such as Google, students explore topics that interests them. We'll use books, iPads, Chromebooks, physical materials and school personnel to aid in our research on Wednesdays.
