WhAt a BoO-ti-FuL wEEK!

My children and I had such an exciting week!  It was full of exciting learning activities and the BEST Halloween party I have ever experienced!  I have such a wonderful group of second graders, and I hope they enjoyed it as much as I did!
We learned about homophones this week, and we worked on many activities.  I loved how my second graders thought that homophones were so neat!  Words that sound the same but are spelled differently and have different meanings...pretty cool! 

We completed sentences by choosing the correct homophone, and we worked on a classroom homophone book.

 

 

 

Our comprehension skill this week was cause and effect.  In my last blog update I mentioned that we would be using the children's book, If You Give a Cat a Cupcake, as a resource in learning cause and effect.  This is the activity the children completed...

 

 

 

 

We also worked on addition with regrouping. 

 

 

The students completed a sorting activity for their math journals.  They had 2 pockets for their addition squares...one for regrouping and one for no regrouping.

 

Our class enjoyed a wonderful Halloween party today!  We had fantastic food, games, and many laughs!  A special THANK YOU to the mom that hosted our wonderful party and to the mom that made precious treat bags with the children's handprints.   Because of you both our children had such a wonderful time!  I also want to thank all of the other parents for coming and helping out with the party and all of the parents who sent items.  I appreciate the support and help!

 

 

 

 

Frankie had a great time too!
