All About Simchat Torah
I learned about Simchat Torah. I learned that on Simchat Torah we read the end of the Torah and begin it again. During our program, I saw that one half of the scroll had all the Torah and it was heavy. The other half was light and empty.
Writer's Workshop
My first story I wrote during Writer's Workshop was about turtles. I had lots of facts about turtles in my story. One fact is that turtles are reptiles, just like alligators. I have three turtles at home that I wrote about. It took a long time to write the story and it was hard, but I had fun. I liked sharing my story with the class.
Book Groups and Favorite Read Aloud
We started book groups this week. We read a book together and then we have our book group jobs. We have a different job each day. This week I am reading Absolutely Lucy. I had the job of Mind Reader. My favorite book we read this week is our snack time read aloud, Zoo School. In the chapters this week, we learned that the school is closing.
Science and Math
In science, we started learning about the brain. We brainstormed what we know about the brain. The brain controls everything in our body. In my math group, we are learning about greater than or less than using crocodile signs.
Best Part of the Week
My favorite part of this week was finishing my story during Writer's Workshop because it was the first time I've published a story in second grade.
