----------

Bible: We praised the Lord through singing this week! It is just beautiful to listen to these sweet 2nd graders sing their hearts out for their Jesus! What a blessing!

ELA: We worked on reading comprehension this week by reading passages and answering questions. We focused on finding the evidence in the story/article/text. We are also working on building our reading stamina!

We had a good time thinking about ourselves as grandparents and what we might say, do, or wear! ;) We also spent time reflecting on the grandparents/grandfriends in our lives and creating a special project for them to bring home from Grandparents/Grandfriends Day!

Math: We've moved into telling time. We're looking at both analog and digital clocks. We're learning about the minute hand and the hour hand and practicing AM and PM.

Outdoor Learning: We're learning about our own community! We've spent time this year learning about different types of habitats, so we're focusing on our own habitat...a community!
