For the month of November we have been busy learning new skills in our Everyday Counts Calendar Math.
On the calendar: we are looking for patterns, classifying and describing three-dimensional shapes.
In Computations and Connections: we are working out addition facts for doubles and doubles plus one and writing equations.
In Measurement: We are estimating and measuring lengths in centimeters.
In Coin Counter: we are solving shopping problems, using the dollar sign with decimal point and using the cent symbol.
We are also learning to read the hour and minutes hands on the clock along with reading the minutes before the hour, and count by fives.
We have also been busy with graphs.
We finished our unit Does it Walk Crawl or Swim? We started a new unit called Putting Together and Taking Apart. In this unit we will be working on addition and subtraction. We will be working with 5's, 10's, 20's, and 25's and on ways to make 100. We will also work on solving story problems and deciding what operation to use to solve a problem.
In Science we are having a great time doing lab activities that explore, collect and compare temperature data.
It has been a busy yet fun couple of weeks!

Hi there Mrs. Lankford! This is Mrs. Wulf (previously Ms. Nicole Gili). I can't believe I came across your website via a google search. I hope your year is going well. I'm having a great time teaching 2nd grade! Keep in touch!
Hi Mrs. Lankford! I was busy searching for EDC Calendar Math ideas and came across your fabulous website. Boy, are you an inspiration to this fellow teacher. I don't know how you do it all!
