Wednesday

Wednesday was a rather plain day in second grade. I started out by finishing assembling shape books for the kids. These were little books all about 3-D shapes, so they could learn to recognize what a 3-D shape was and looked like. After assembling the shape books, I helped the kids decorate their poetry books. They've written numerous poems this year and so I was able to help them decorate them. Eventually the kids had Chinese and then an early recess, and then it was off to lunch. We had a very quick morning. Later the kids went to art, did a little bit of their Cleveland study, which included me reading to them a fictional story about Cleveland, and then they went to science. After coming back from science we did some fraction studies. We worked on worksheets and I helped explain to them what a numerator was and what a denominator was. We used candy and cookies to explain fractions, which I think allowed them to focus on the study a little bit better. We ended the day by finishing the Cleveland book I had started reading to them, and then we had a closing meeting where we played heads up 4 up, one of their favorite games.
