In math class, students enjoyed their shopping excursions as we learned more about money. The children are now adding two-digit numbers and practicing regrouping. This will come in handy when we begin subtracting two-digit numbers in the near-future! The class will soon re-visit  place value, measurement, and time as well.

Much of our day in second grade is spent reading and writing - whether it be in reading groups, math, social studies, science, or other content areas. Our class can boast of many skilled writers. The second-graders just completed wonderful poems about the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. – I couldn’t be more proud of their progress! The students have been reading a variety of genres in class as well as independently. The latest reading project - the biography book report - is underway and stirring up lots of enthusiasm. This project will help the students sharpen their skills in creating timelines, writing expository and creative pieces, and delivering oral reports. 

Religion is particularly exciting for second grade at the moment. As the changes in the mass are officially underway, we are taking a closer look at the parts of the mass. This is so important because we are going to become more active members of the church community upon receiving the sacrament of Reconciliation in February.
