It was a chilly week last week which means we have not been outside running around at recess. We took breaks during the day and sometimes moved around using the website GoNoodle.

We are finishing up our geometry unit. We have learned about 2D and 3D shapes, how to partition rectangles into rows and columns, and we have used open number lines to solve addition problems. One of the skills needed to solve problems with open number lines is to be able to count by 10’s. Many students need to practice counting by tens from any number. One of our goals in second grade is to know basic addition facts from memory by the end of the year. We have a ways to go with this goal.
We will have a short science test this week. A study guide will come home on Monday.
Several of our students enjoyed a pizza snack from Dr. Moughni for reaching the reading goal of 300 minutes over Christmas break.
Next Friday is a half day.
