This week in second grade was so much fun! In knowledge we studied the effects of rivers flooding and even created our own silt to learn about its impact on rivers! In math, we studied number patterns while skip counting using our hundreds chart, in skills we reviewed our tricky words with a new game based on our reader, and in science we were engineers and leaders when we worked together to build the tallest towers!
