Everything is Awesome... Master Builders at Work!

The students have been working on sentence structure and what goes into making a good second grade sentence. We are working on getting into the habit of capitalizing and using correct punctuation. Also, we are learning about what a complete thought looks like (it has both a subject and a predicate). Many times, students will produce run on sentences because they do not understand where their thought ends. In order to practice sentence structure and complete thoughts, we used Mega Blok Legos to build sentences!

 

In math, we started our unit on Numbers and Operations in Base Ten.  One of the standards calls for the students to "mentally add/subtract 10 or 100 to a given number... In order to practice this skill, the students used a 10 less/10 more tracker on a hundreds chart.  We will continue to use this strategy with 3 digit numbers.
