Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Did you remember to wear green yesterday?  We celebrated this Irish-American holiday in our classroom by playing math games and writing about the people in our lives that are worth more than gold!

Shamrock Sort - sorting subtraction problems into regroup/do not regroup piles

Racing to get around the game board first - while working on complements of 10

O' Lucky Day - Practice with adding 3 numbers while racing to fill up their board

Tasty!  Fractions with Lucky Charms cereal

100 chart Mystery Picture - what will it be?!

Leprechaun Luck - who will be the first to clear their board?  This is an introduction to probability.

Measurement

We have started one of my favorite math units... measurement!  We have had so much fun measuring objects in the classroom, ourselves included!

    

    

Happy Valentine's Day!

We had a small celebration in our classroom last Friday for Valentine's Day.  At NBE, Valentine's Day ended a week of kindness.  All week, we read books and worked on activities that emphasized treating others with kindness.  To cap it all off, we wrote letters telling our classmates why we appreciate them and exchanged cards!  Oh yeah... we pigged out on giant cupcakes, too!!

We're 100 days smarter!

We celebrated our 100th day of second grade on Friday, February 7.  Students created 100th day projects at home to showcase their knowledge of the large number.  Take a look at the creative creations in our classroom!

We FINALLY went to school!

The polar vortex is hitting us hard!  We've had 4 snow/cold days since Christmas break!  You would think it would be hard to stay in the learning groove with so many interruptions, but today we came back from our (second in a row) extended weekend and rocked it!

 We measured our arm spans in math.  We used the data to make a frequency table and a line plot.

We practiced our keyboarding skills in the computer lab.

We researched deserts in science.

There's more learning in store tomorrow!

Exciting Math News!

We can now....

...multiply and divide!!

These are pictures of us playing Array Top-It, which helps us develop our multiplication and division skills!  How cool!
