2nd Grade

Science - Unit 1 Lesson 1 - reviewed tools for measurement (ruler, balance, graduated cylinder, and thermometer.) we need to keep reviewing these - none of them knew the name of the balance on the assessment. there are review cards in their folders that show the tool, what it measures, and what the unit of measure is. they have to put them together correctly - it's a good review tool. fun discussion about the new planet that was discovered recently and the vastness of space.

History - Unit 1 lessons 2 & 3 - reviewed continents, oceans, the compass rose and following directions on a map. reviewed equator, island, peninsula (no one remembered this) and different types of land - desert, mountains, canyon, river, lake, glacier.

Good day overall - usual new school year adjustments but it's good to be back!
