The students were certainly excited this week! They enjoy learning new tools, information and strategies. What an eager group! We are learning how much we can accomplish as a focused, collaborative group. Here are some highlights from our newsletter this week.
We learned:
- tools related to creating Google Slides including formatting text boxes, backgrounds, and inserting images.
- to be mindful with smell by wafting scents from essential oils, herbs, and flowers from Mrs. Hock's garden.
- more strategies to help us shift our thinking to Growth Mindset using the books Bubblegum Brain, Not Yet, Flight School, Ricky the Rock that Couldn't Roll and The Girl Who Never Made Mistakes.
We experienced:
- Dot Day by reading The Dot and other books by Peter Reynolds and creating our own "mark".
- practicing our handwriting, and reviewing consonants & vowels.
- "All About Me" share from Evie, Kaja, Lina, Cooper and Lukas.
- reading mini-lessons related to reading stamina and stopping to think while reading.
- a guidance lesson with Ms. Amble about The Buddy Bench.
- the district-wide fall 2nd grade Math Standards Assessment.
Other things to ask your child about:
- making covers for our science notebooks.
- our morning meeting activities: Mystery Doug, Class Picture and the Name Card greeting.
- writing equations for odd and even numbers.
- palindromes.
Enjoy the warm temperatures this weekend!
Mrs. Hock
