Oops, Flat Stanley, and Telling Time

Here are a few updates on what your children are learning in the 2nd grade classroom...

We have been working on making predictions during reading time. Today we read a story called Beautiful Oops! in which we witnessed how "mistakes" can turn into masterpieces.

After reading the book, the students turned their own scribbles/squiggles into pieces of art. Check out a few of the beautiful oops activities below:



We also have been reading Flat Stanley. It's getting exciting! There are thieves in the museum and Stanley is developing a plan to catch them!


Another thing we have been working on is telling time to the half hour in math.

For instance- 3:30 is the same as half past three.


7:30 is the same as half past seven.

Please help your child practice telling time by noticing the clocks around them at school, the store, and wherever else you might go.


Thank you for another great week! Please remember that we are going on our field trip on Monday. Please send in the permission slips and $2.00 so that your child can attend.
