Thunderstorms, blizzards, and tornados...oh my!

We started learning about weather this week! We are focusing on severe storms, types of precipitation and the water cycle. We began with a KWL and thought about what we think we know about weather and what we want to learn 

We are SO excited to write personal narratives. We learned what features make a narrative really great. We brainstormed ideas we can write about like broken bones, vacations, and play dates. We are creating a class book about our first day of second grade to show off at open house in a few weeks! 

Our first FUNdations unit is underway! We are reviewing what we learned in first grade: short vowels, closed syllables, digraphs, and blends. We used white boards, but are super excited to get started with the iPads next week! 

Second grade is finally 1:1!! We can't wait to use these :)

Next week we will learn more about addition and subtraction word problems. If you have any questions about weekly homework, reading logs or the reading corp/xtra math reading incentives, please let me know!
