Math Review

Today we reviewed topics covered this year in math. The students worked in cooperative groups and we played a Connect Four version of a review. We also reviewed for tomorrow's social studies test!

Go Cardinals!

We are so excited for opening day!  To top it off we got some yummy donuts for Audrey's birthday!

Evaluating Writing

We analyzed our writing today and looked at what we are doing well and what we still need to work on with our essay writing. Students set goals for the upcoming literary essays and we will continue to refer to these goals throughot the writing unit. 

Flight Crew Visit

We had a visit from a Truman Middle School Flight Crew today. They talked to our class about bullying using some interactive games and an engaging movie they created. Many kids in our class expressed interest in being a part of the Flight Crew when they are in middle school and teaching lessons to elementary students.  Students also had the chance to create their own video game in library. 

Second Grade Circus

We went to the circus today- the second grade circus!  It was fun to watch the second graders perform and the class all filled me on their circus roles when they were little in second grade. 

Trying Triangles

We are learning about the different types of triangles. We looked at acute, right, and obtuse triangles.  We also looked at triangles that have perpendicular lines- which happen to be right triangles as well. 

Math Stations

This week in our math stations we are reviewing measurement and working with tangram pieces looking at different shapes. We will have a chapter 14 test Friday.
