Beacons of Excellence
We are a class of multi-age students, grades 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, learning and exploring together. We are learning to use spelling, grammar, and punctuation appropriately; however, we still use developmental spelling in our articles as we learn to write for a wide audience. Our goal is to make our learning viewable and discussable. Thank you for viewing our blog- we hope you join the discussion!

In honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday, we are participating in a school wide read-a-thon. We began keeping track of our reading minutes, at home and at school, on March 2. On March 16, we will add up all of our reading minutes and celebrate with an all day read in. We've been really busy reading, reading, and reading! Hope you are to! Share with us some ideas about books to read- we may want to try some new ones during the read-a-thon!

We are really enjoying the Winter Olympics. I am learning about new sports. Shaun White seems to be the favorite in our class room. We are learning about the Olympics through books, videos, and websites on itouches and netbooks. Please read the student blogs- they have been writing about the olympics and would love comments.

Bazaar

Every year our Parent Club hosts a bazaar. Students enjoy shopping for families and looking at all the great homemade items. We participated in the bazaar by making playdough and hot chocolate and cider cups to sell. Our third graders ran the booth and practiced their community speaking and change making skills.

Addition and Subtraction Facts

Article posted November 13, 2009 at 03:32 AM GMT0 • comment • Reads 54

We recently took an Addition Assessment in 2nd grade math. We know some of our math facts by heart and we use strategies like counting on, friendly numbers, and making ten to solve others. Our goal is to learn all of our facts to sums of 20 by heart. We have been playing addition and subtraction games with dice, spinners, and cards. We constructed addition and subtraction fact charts. One of our favorite practice strategies is to use the netbooks. We enjoy the following site because we can compete against ourselves or other kids from around the world. There is no communication with anyone on the internet except for competing in knowing our math facts. We encourage you to play at home.

Do you know of any fun math games or math sites for learning addition or subtraction sites? Please leave a comment.
