Families, please remember that tomorrow is Pink Shirt Day! As a symbol against bullying, students wear pink! Today, we read the book "Fill a Bucket" by Carol McCloud and Katherine Martin. We talked about how choosing kindness is an act against bullying. Then, we worked together to build an acrostic poem about kindness. Grade 2s began identifying polygons today. Now that we're super confident identifying the parts of a shape, polygons are coming easy for us! Polygons are any shape that has closed and straight lines! Here are some examples: The below are NOT polygons: Grade 1s practiced their counting strategies and are able to hear and write numerals to 20. Reading the numerals is important, but writing them ourselves is equally important! Students are able to counting how many objects there are and can count objects out of a group, too.
Students are working on a new digraph this week as well! The "ph" digraph is advanced and the sound it makes is similar to the Ff sound. We have brainstormed many words including phone, graph, and alphabet. Students are also able to explain why the Oo in "phone" says it's long name (hint: it's that magic Ee!!).
