Math and Letters

Yesterday we did Name Collection Boxes during Math. The kids LOVE these! Take advantage of that and put them to work at home!!



Simply draw a box and put the number they are trying to make in the box in the corner. I impressed the kids again with my ability to copy the box from our Math Journal.


Then let them name all the ways to make that number. Try Roman numerals or numbers in another language. TONS of fun.

Today was very exciting for Room 24! The kids got pen pal letters!!!! Our pen pals are from Mission San Jose Elementary. They are also 2nd graders, and like us, they have 15 boys and 15 girls!


#30 is writing to his pen pal of almost the same name!!



#17, working on the "heading" which is the date.



#18, reading her letter.


I can always count on #6 to liven things up.

The kids also finished their letters to the principal. We'll get those to her tomorrow.
