Base 10 Blocks

We practiced place value using base ten blocks.  We practiced showing numbers different ways using our blocks and discussing how many ones, tens and hundreds we used to make them.

Using Coins to Buy Things

In math we practiced counting money and pretended to buy fruits and vegetables from our partners.  This is very good practice for them.  Anytime you can, allow your child to count coins.

Pumpkin Patch

We had a great time at the pumpkin patch this morning.  We love our pumpkins!  In writing, we wrote pumpkin poems about the pumpkins we saw and bought.  
Thank you Lesli for making the awesome Witches Brew project.  It was so cute!

Healthy Choices

We are talking about the food plate in Science right now and making healthy choices at lunch.  Today, the nurse, Mrs. Emerson, came and talked to 2nd grade about nutrition as well.  She talked about the importance of having something from all of the food groups and cutting back on the unhealthy choices.  We will be completing a chart to hang in the cafeteria to help the younger students make good choices at lunch.
