R-Controlled Vowels and One Great Math Meeting Helper!!





Great job as Math Meeting Helper CJ!! We also continued our study of magnets with more investigations. Using what we learned about the North and South poles of magnets, we created a magnet out of an ordinary paperclip. We learned many things and some students (Michael... Annika...) actually created a magnet strong enough to pick up 5 or more other paperclips! WOW!! More magnet investigations next week as we take a close look at how magnet are used as tools... and do more "fact" writing about magnets!
We also learned and played a fun game to help reinforce our spelling... R-Controlled vowels were the rule, and we used our skills to try and "roll, find, read, and write" 7 words in a row! Great practice, teamwork, cooperative learning, and spelling... all rolled up into a 15 minute interactive game! As always, busy, full, eventful week in second grade!
