Second grade lunch project. Students googled a menu to a local restaurant, created a meal, and found the price of the meal.

This week in reading, we have been honing our skills in summaries and synthesis. It is tough as our stories get more complex to pull all the events together into a unifying theme, but we are doing a great job! Third and Fourth Graders continue their journey in their novels, and Second Grade is enjoying several books around a theme (understanding differences, accepting others).
In writing, we have drafted some great pieces, and are beginning to use checklists and mentor texts to help us revise. We are learning that writing is not "done" in the first draft. It's with later rewrites and conferencing to guide our improvements that it gets better!
Third and Fourth have been analyzing compound and complex sentences too, so we can correctly use them in our writing and add variety to how we script.
Next week, Third and Fourth Graders will be taking their math and reading benchmarks, so we are not having spelling during the next week. We will get back on track the week of the 17th. Also, I will give Mountain Language next Monday, but they can turn it in on Wednesday after the Tuesday holiday.
We used technology in science to elaborate on what we know about heat energy. Our Web Surf allowed us to virtually manipulate difference substances, experience changes of state, and even play some games to see how matter changes in difference temperatures.
In social studies, we've been learning about different ways we can display the passage of time, how analyzing documents can help us understand the past, and the variety of climates and resources Texas has to offer.
