Monday, 10/29

Today, like every Monday, has been crazy and scattered. We rushed to have Mrs. Johnson's class in here this morning, after taking our end-of-the-trimester fluency test. We worked on branching and government word problems, then studied government. There are three types of government: local, state, and national government. We learned that government provides things for us, BUT we have to pay taxes to have those things provided. Each type of government has their own taxes. Sadly, our internet has really given us trouble today. We've had trouble blogging this morning, AND Ustream has gone down over and over. We're sorry if you were trying to watch us!!! Have a great day!!!! : )

good work

Keep of the good work.  I love reading about your exciting fun filled days!

Wednesday, Oct. 24

We didn't get to blog yesterday because we were on a field trip. We had lots of fun and saw lots of interesting birds. Today, we came into the room and invited Mrs. Johnson's class over for morning work. We did "It All Adds Up." Mrs. Bruno really likes those puzzles. After Mrs. Johnson's class went back to their room, we did Math Magician and worked on addition with regrouping problems. We also completed some "Gus and Grandpa" word problems to go along with our reading story. After our word problems, we pulled out our science module and worked with equal-arm balances. We learned what would make the balance work and what would make it tilt to one side or the other. We also related the equal-arm balance to a particular math symbol we use all of the time . . . THE EQUAL SIGN!!!!! : )

October 16, 2012

What a wacky day! Today was Canaan's birthday. Happy bday!! This morning we looked at Sydney, and her injury was worse! :( We watched a video about the sun and stars. Both classes went to the computer lab to do IXL, Socrative, and Math Magician. We also made Colonial journals for our upcoming Colonial Day. We had a great day!

We really like today's cool date!! :) When Mrs. Johnson's came this morning, we read and discussed a biography on Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon. We had great discussions about space, the earth, and the moon. We talked about rockets and determined how old Mr. Armstrong was when he landed on the moon. We also determined his age when he died a couple of months ago. Using a map, we found the state where he was born and died. We also located other places of importance, like Southern California (where he got his master's degree) and Florida (where he launched into space). In math, we continued Math Magician and branching. Then, we did our word problems and learned about what makes us have seasons. It's been a great day. We can't wait to visit the nursing home tonight!!!!! : )

Icky Monday

It's a chilly, yucky Monday, but we're having a good day in second grade. Mrs. Johnson is sick today, and we hope she's feeling better soon!!!!! The first thing we did this morning was to read Molly the Owl: The True Story of a Common Barn Owl That Ends up Being Not So Common After All. Then, we took a look at Sydney in her box. We took our normal Monday timed math test and started a new type of branching. Now, we're SUBTRACTING!!!! Yea!!!! After math, we observed and recorded what had happened in our evaporation experiment. We moved on to talk about our favorite subject, science! We're talking about what makes day and night for the next couple of days. Our reading story will go along with that. We're looking forward to a great week!

It's Friday!!! :)

Happy Friday! We're excited about the weekend! Mrs. Johnson's class came over and we introduced today's math centers. We looked at Mel and Sydney's camera, but no one was home. However, in the chat room, lots of people wanted to say hello to us!!! (Don't worry, it's a super safe chat room that is policed by a moderator!!!) We also looked at a new camera today, called the Shamu Cam. It's Mrs. Bruno's fave!!! : ) We know how much she loves her killer whales! After that, we did centers in our room, then went to Mrs. Johnson's room. We had snack before 11:00, and we're waiting on a visitor to come and do a fun activity right now!!! Her name is Mrs. Hutchens! We hope this activity is fun! Have a good weekend!

October 3, 2012

Happy Wednesday! For morning work, we did condensation word problems, then checked them with Mrs. Johnson's. While they were in here, we learned how to play Kakooma on the iPad and "It All Adds Up" math game. When we began math, we did Math Magician and learned a new strategy. We've conquered all those silly 9s problems by using the "9 Shortcut." We're ready for any 9s problem you throw at us!!! : ) We branched a couple of problems before moving on to science. After today's science lesson, we're all ready to be weather boys and weather girls!!!! Watch out, James Spann!!! We now know the names of meteorlogists' tools and how to use them!!!! We're sad that we can't go to the playground today, but we're excited about the new shades we'll be getting. We may go to the courtyard, or we may play the Wii!

October 2, 2012

Happy Tuesday (especially since we didn't get around to blogging for a Happy Monday). Yesterday, being early-dismissal-Monday, we didn't have time to blog. Mrs. Johnson's friends came over, and we played "Find That Number" on the 100s chart. We also added 2-digit numbers. Sadly, the rain kept us from going to recess, but we played the Wii instead. Today, we used the Math Studies Weekly to work on place value. Then . . . we headed to the dreaded computer lab for Global Scholar. It worked only SLIGHTLY better than last week. This time, it took over 90 minutes, but we finally all completed the test. Poor Canaan and Will were kicked off the internet about 20 times altogether. The rest of us were only kicked off about 15 times. : ) It was not a fun time!!! We won't be taking this test again until CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
