Students learned about procedures and expectations. Most students completed their first myon assignment. They completed a writing assignment and made a paper person. They learned how to get onto IXL and practiced determining whether a number was odd or even. Most students already have the odd and even mastered. This would be a good skill to practice at home this week when you encounter numbers. Ask your second grader if the number is odd or even. We learned a fun chant to help us remember the even numbers and we talked about how even numbers have partners, but odd numbers don't.
We also had our first science lesson. Students learned about the many verbs scientists do. They also learned they already do the things scientists do: learn, study, observe, solve, travel, work together, create and invent. They learned they are going to be scientists all year long.
On Tuesday this week I will send home our first spelling list. The spelling test will be on September 4th. This is a practice spelling list and test so you and the students know what to expect for the coming year. In addition to the spelling words, students need to be able to identify phonograms. I've attached a link to the phonogram slides and a link to the spelling list so you can begin practicing at home.
I am excited for this year. It is going to be a great adventure!
