Act of Service
2nd Grade is currently learning about Christmas Around the World.
Sweden’s holiday tradition is doing service for others. This class felt like needed to do some service too.
Mrs. Hancock’s class decided to come and disinfect our Mac Lab. They were so excited and very happy about doing a service for the “whole school”!!
Way to go Mrs. Hancock’s Class!
Learning about the Water Cycle in 2nd Grade
It’s always better to learn Science with a Song!
In 2nd grade we learn about the weather and how it affects each of us. We discussed tornados, hurricanes, and other weather-related storms. We also learned about the different types of clouds and what kind of weather goes with them. Since clouds generate rain, it was a natural follow-up to learn that all the water that has ever been on the earth is still here. This fascinated our class and they had to know how that could happen. So, we learned about the Water Cycle. Just ask us what precipitation, condensation, and evaporation mean. My class loves singing so we found the Water Cycle Song and worked very hard to learn it. We love showing off what we know so we sang for Dr. Dave, Mr. Tippets, Mrs. Mindrum, Mrs. Painer, and several parents. We hope you have as much fun watching it as we did performing it! -Thanks Mrs. Blok

2nd Grade
As I was visiting 2nd grade, I noticed some fun stuff that I wanted to share!
Positive Reward System: When the students have good behavior, they get a hole punch in a card at the end of the day. When they fill up the hole punch card, they get to use the Ipad to take a picture of the SURPRISE QR code of their choice. Each code tells them a surprise job they get to do that week: Get the teacher’s mail, water the plants etc. They love it. Taking the picture and seeing their surprise job. What another great way to use QR CODES in the classroom!!!
5 steps closer to my fluency goals:
Since our 2nd grades are focusing on reading fluency and math fluency a lot this year. This class is encouraging them to get faster by weekly readings and math fact quizzes. Each time they improve by 5 (the magic number) or more, they get to put their name on a foot and the teacher puts it up on the wall. Blue is math and red is reading. They are doing awesome, and love to see how much they improve by or need to. 🙂
2nd Grade App Fun
I was invited in 2nd Grade to see one of their favorite Educational Apps in action!
I was very impressed with what I saw! Check it out!
This app is a class favorite! Check out Language Adventures from Lakeshore Learning at the App Store! It’s a great purchase for your class or for review at home!
Thanks for sharing 2nd Grade!
