Happy New Year -2011

This year our 2nd grade class was asked (by Mrs Garza) to perform for the Mission Academy Cowboy Breakfast. (January 28?) As soon as I get updated on what are performance is going to be I'll let you know.

Math Unit 8: This math unit will deal with carrying. We call carrying 'regrouping'... Iknow, I know, but for some reason regrouping works.Be patient, this is critical time in Math development, but I think we will do alright...

8.1 Finding the closest ten: Rounding to the nearest 10
hint if the one is 5 or larger go with the largest 10
eg 47 is about 50
57 is about 60

smaller than 5, go with the smaller 10
eg 44 is about 40
32 is about 30

I have the students write both tens:
66 (60----------------70)

then figure the closest 10
66 is about 70

Reading:

Same story as last week: Officer Buckle and Gloria
Spelling: Same words, different assignments
Language: Paragraph using at least 5 spelling words to describe their Christmas.
Social Studies: Created a calendar to mark major Holidays and important dates from now till May.
