On stage for Chets Creek 2nd Grade Teachers! on PhotoPeach
Our students loved all the attention from the other 2nd grade teachers observing a lesson Mrs. Holtsman taught to kick off our next unit of study in Writing. Ask your student about the visit.
Last week we started a new unit in Math, Shapes Blocks, and Symmetry. Check out some snapshots of the students ordering rectangles and learning about 2D and 3D shapes. Ask your students about the things we are learning in Room #204.

Enjoy the slideshow!

Happy New Year Part 2! on PhotoPeach
Happy New Year 2015! Our first week back was full of learning. We had several visits from our Reading Coach Mrs. Holtsman. Mrs. Holtsman read us a funny fractured fairy tale. She used her Cajun/French accent to entertain us. It was so funny! Later in the week she helped us understand the importance of using a rubric to make our writing better. She also gave us great tips during our Reading Workshop block. We are thinking like 3rd graders. In Science we started the Weather unit. We did a fun lab using thermometers and had a great time observing the weather. Check out our slide show to peek into our first week of 2015! Enjoy!
