Another Tuesday in class 2D! Today is the 90th day of school! Can you believe we are half way through the year? We had a great day today with only one, yes, one marble remaining in our 100 marble bowl. When we have 100 marbles transferred to our marble jar, we can celebrate our good behavior with a day of special events such as a "Read In," a movie and popcorn, "Game Day," etc. Hopefully we will score our final marble early in the day tomorrow.
We have a new Star of the Week this week: Keshav! Congratulations, Star!
Mrs. Glimcher surprised us as a Mystery Reader today. Her book selection was Enemy Pie, a book about friendship.
We also finished up chapter 7 in math today. There is quite a bit of vocabulary to be familiar with when studying 2D shapes, so the 2D Rocks have been working on a small book of terms to use as a reference at home. The books came home today for students to share with you.
This afternoon the 2D Rocks decorated placemats for tomorrow's faculty appreciation luncheon and played, "Run for the Roses" a game of categorizing.
We are nearing the end of our Maps and Globes book. Reviews of the topics covered in the book will take place over the next couple of weeks. A variety of assessments will help determine which topics the students understand and which topics may need to be revisited in class.
Cursive continues!
Our immigration unit is coming to an end. We read The Butterfly Seeds this week, a story loosely based on the author's grandparents own immigration story. We are beginning to work on a presentation of our family trees as a culminating activity for this unit.
Biographies will begin soon.
