Field Trip - Henry Ford Museum

We had a wonderful trip to the Henry Ford Museum this week.  The students had a great time walking around and learning with their friends and he rest of the school!  Thank you so much to all of the parents who helped!  

Reading/Writing/Science

This week, students have had the opportunity to write an opinion writing about why they should go to 2nd grade.  They practiced using all of their knowledge about what an opinion writing needs and revising and editing.

Book Baggies:
Book Baggies should all be returned by now.  If anyone is willing to help check books in and put them away in our leveled library, we would love some help.  The book room is available for this on Wednesday, June 6 from 9-11am and Friday, June 8 from 9am-1pm.

Math
Students continued to solve number stories this week.  They are practicing two-digit addition/subtraction.  In addition, they have the opportunity to share their thinking/strategies.  Next week, I hope to wrap up Unit 9 by reviewing 3D and 2D shapes and fractions.  I then hope to take the Unit 9 test at the end of next week.

Unit 9 Skills
o I can identify the number of tens and ones in a two-digit number and the value of each digit.
o I can use place value understanding to record comparisons of two-digit numbers using relation symbols (<,>,=).
o I can mentally add 10 more and 10 less.
o I can use strategies to subtract multiples of 10 from numbers within 100.
o I can measure the length of an object using same-sized units.
o I can partition shapes into two and four equal shares and name the shares.
