Today was a busy day..per usual. New spelling lists went home today. Some sorts were quite a challenge this week! The 2D Rocks moved from suffixes to compound words during our grammar study today. Coming up with compound words from a fixed list of words proved to be another challenge this morning. No breezing through Second Grade in January! We partner read our Open Court story, A Place Called Freedom, about a family of freed slaves. The Rocks enjoyed our 3-special day: P.E., Computer, and Science. In the afternoon, we discussed vertices, sides, plane shapes, solids, congruency, and symmetry. We also continued our discussion of good manners and self-control.
