Happy Thanksgiving!

On the eve of Thanksgiving, second grade was still bustling with learning today!  We worked on getting a few things finished up and worked on pre-graphing skills with a mystery picture early this morning.  During all of Reading Workshop, we practiced our Readers' Theater play.  It was a great way to practice fluency, have fun reading, and work together.  The best part was presenting our play to Mrs. Beaty's class and then later to Mrs. Love's class and Mr. Brown.  They all loved our VERY dramatic presentation!  We worked on some writing skills with some punctuation and capitalization work, and subtracted numbers using the hundreds chart.  We got to watch Mayflower Voyagers with the Peanuts characters.  While we were watching, we discovered that all of the things that happened in our play really happened to the Pilgrims and that the people we played in the play were real people!  (Imagine that!  Don't you hate it when you are learning and don't even know it?!)  Some students even made connections to the Thanksgiving themed books we read in reading groups!  Whew!  It was a busy day full of learning!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!  Rest up, Leitze Learners!  We have a lot of learning to do after break before Winter Break!
