📏 Math Was Hands-On in Second Grade Today! 📏

Mrs. Burt’s second graders put their math skills to work! 🌟

We’ve been learning all about measurement, exploring different measuring tools, and practicing how to measure objects accurately. Today, our students turned into measurement detectives—using rulers, tape measures, and meter sticks to measure everything around the classroom! 🔍✂️

Seeing them compare lengths, select the right tool for the job, and work together was incredible.

Ask your second grader what classroom object they measured today and which tool was their favorite! 👇✨

📏 Measuring Up in Second Grade! 📏

Miss Poythress’ second graders are taking big strides in math! 🌟

Our students learned a major measurement milestone this week: there are 100 centimeters in 1 meter! To bring this concept to life, they became mini-engineers and crafted their very own meter sticks right in the classroom.

Now that they have their custom tools ready, they’re set to measure the world around them during our measurement unit! 🎨✂️

Ask your second grader how long a meter stick is and what they’re excited to measure next! 👇✨

🎲 Roll, Count, and Add in First Grade! 🎲

Mrs. Gittens and Mrs. Roberts’ first graders are leveling up their math skills today! 🌟

Our young mathematicians played "Roll a Total," an interactive game where they roll dice and practice the counting on strategy to find the sum. Instead of counting every single dot from scratch, students start with the bigger number and "count on" to add the rest—building strong mental math habits and number sense!

Watching them encourage their partners, cheer for big rolls, and solve problems together was the best part of the lesson.

Ask your first grader about their favorite roll today! 👇✨

🦁 Safari Super Stars & Math Champions in 1st Grade! 📚🐾

Mrs. Norrell’s 1st graders had an action-packed day of learning, exploration, and game-playing!

In Wit & Wisdom, our readers kicked off their “Books Around the World” module by diving into Tomás and the Library Lady. Using special "character stones," these sharp detectives successfully identified every character in the story! 🪨📖

The adventure didn't stop there—students grabbed their binoculars for a classroom safari! While they admitted they'd rather hunt for jungle animals, they settled for hunting down common nouns around the room and proved to be true Safari Super Stars! 🦒✏️

Over in ELT, it was a race to the finish line with "Racing Bears"! Students sharpened their addition and subtraction skills within 20, moving their bears across game boards to see who could reach 20 first. Math is always more fun when it feels like a game! 🐻🎲

Ask your 1st grader what common nouns they spotted on their safari today! 👇

📏 Big measurements for our 2nd-grade scientists! 🔍✨

Mrs. Chiu’s class was on the move today, using 10 cm rulers to measure all kinds of objects around our classroom! From pencils and books to eraser edges, these young mathematicians are getting hands-on practice with estimation, metric measurement, and precision.

Ask your 2nd grader what was the longest (and shortest!) thing they measured today! 📐✏️

✏️ Sky-high learning in Kindergarten! ☁️✨

Mrs. Sheppard and Mrs. Jones’ class has been hard at work practicing their Fundations skills! Today, our little scholars used their big muscle movements to sky-write the letters t, b, and f.

From the Sky Line down to the Grass Line, they are mastering letter formation, pencil grip, and phonics—all while having a blast!

Ask your kindergartener to show you how to sky-write their letter sounds at home tonight! 🍎👇

🍝🌭 Spaghetti in a Hot Dog Bun?! 🍝🌭
Mrs. Campbell’s and Miss Spratling’s 2nd graders brought stories to life today! After reading Maria Dismondy’s classic book, Spaghetti in a Hot Dog Bun, our creative thinkers got to taste test the legendary creation for themselves.
This story taught us all about the power of courage, kindness, and celebrating what makes each of us unique—even if it's our taste in lunch!
Swipe to see our brave 2nd graders giving Lucy's favorite snack a try! Would you give spaghetti in a hot dog bun a taste? Let us know in the comments! 👇✨

📚 Dictionary Races & Poetic Voices in Mrs. Curry’s 2nd Grade! 🌧️☀️

It’s been an action-packed week of learning in Second Grade!

🔍 Ready, Set, Search! Our young scholars put their dictionary skills to the ultimate test during our Dictionary Races. Students raced to flip through the pages, find our target words, and read the definitions first. Ask your reader what new words they discovered today!

🎭 Poetry in Motion: We’ve also been working hard on reading fluency with Eve Merriam’s poem, "Weather." Students paired up to practice reading aloud with expression, pace, and smooth phrasing. After their partner readings, students completed a self-reflection to celebrate their strengths and set goals for their reading growth.

We are so proud of their hard work and growing confidence as readers and word detectives! 🌟

🎨 Big Thinking in Second Grade! 📚
Ms. Bartoletta’s 2nd graders kicked off their very first Wit & Wisdom lesson today! Our scholars turned into art and poetry detectives as they practiced their "Notice and Wonder" skills.
By closely examining a new poem and artwork, students asked thoughtful questions, spotted key details, and shared incredible insights with their classmates.
We are so proud of their curiosity and can't wait to see all the learning that unfolds this year! 🌟
