Busy Busy

We have been tremedously busy this week! Since it was a short week we had to cram a lot of stuff into it which makes for a jam packed week before Spring Break. This week we began cursive!! We practiced the letters i, u, and t! We will be attempting a letter a day before we work on joining them all together. We moved on to studying matter in Science. We did an experiment mixing oil and water. The students learned that when you mix oil and water, the oil floats on top! We've also talked about the 3 states of matter; solids, liquids, and gases. In Math we continued to work on 2-digit subtraction and money. Those are two areas we are still struggling in and will continue to work on throughout the remainder of the school year. This week something sad is happening. It is Mikey's last day at Southeast. He will be moving over to Hawthorne for the rest of 2nd grade. We will miss him terribly. Mikey brings so much joy and energy into our classroom!! Mikey with one of his best friends Tyler
