It was another jammed packed week! The 2nd Graders benefited from using a new checklist to help them review their writing to understand what is expected for a writing piece to be "done". We also worked on double digit subtraction with regrouping- this is a skill that we will continue to practice all year long as it is a long, multi-step procedure. During science, we continued to explore liquids and solids- identifying the properties of each and if it's possible to reverse the process of making a solid a liquid! We were even able to bring science outside this week as we explored the different ways that a solid spills compares to a liquid.
