The students have been doing a great job in the classroom. We have been going over guided reading expectations and guided math expectations.
Writing Workshop
We have started writing boot camp. The students are learning about the different steps in the writing process. Monday we learned about brainstorming and why we brainstorm ideas before we write. We will also learn about organizing/writing, revising, editing, and publishing this week.
Reading-
We are going over what it means to be an expert second grader and what my expectations are. We will start using our reading series on Wednesday.
Math-
We have been going over guided math expectations of what I will be doing in the classroom and what is expected of them during guided math. The first chapter is over basic addition strategies. Strategies like using a number line, doubles, order of the addends, and making ten are just a few of the strategies.
