The class have been enjoying learning about onomatopoeia this week. It started out with Ms.Judson doing a lesson on Monday and today we did a really fun project where the students took photographs and added animations. Please ask your children about this fun activity.
HI,
I don’t know what is going on, but it won’t let me post the homework links. Very frustrating. In the meantime, keep on reading!
Mr.D
Homework has been posted on the homework page.
The children finished their state poster presentations this week and they did a great job.
I will be adding some pictures of the posters and also presentations this soon.
Great Job everyone! Next the children will be making a digital version of their posters.
I would love to see what people think about this.
Ms. Judson is currently conducting an observed lesson on Nouns, Adjectives and Verbs. The students are creating sentences and then identifying the parts of speech. It is going really well and all the students seem very engaged.
Two great apps we have learned about this week that really enhance our learning are:
Trash Chaos
Litter Chaos
I recommend the paid version, as the free version routinely takes the children away from the app. My favourite of the two is Litter Chaos and costs 99c.
We have had 2 great science lessons this week. The students looked through their lunch boxes and made a tally chart of what they think could be recycled or reused. We discovered that most of us use a reusable lunch box and those that don’t, have a recyclable one.
The following day the children participated in a Nearpod quiz. Please ask your 2nd Grader about this.
We have been working on our State project this week. The children used iPads to display information to the class. We used Keynote and Haiku Deck and they really enjoyed the process. After the holidays are over the children will have an assignment that will need to be completed at home. Each child has chosen a state (other than California) and will eventually present their work to the whole class. I will post more details soon.
We are working on Place Value and Value in Math. The children are doing this in a variety of different ways and using many methods and tools to do this. We are also working on making the computation of math facts automatic. A great app for this is OPERATION MATH.
