With that in mind, I would also like to share that next school year I will be teaching 2nd grade at Harmony Elementary in the Blue Valley District! I'm very excited for the opportunity and can't wait to get started!
Anchor Charts for Review
I wanted to find a fun way to practice measuring and text features while meeting standards. For math, I posted different strips around the room and they met the Core Standard where they have to use different items to measure the same thing and then compare.For text features, they had to find that text feature in the book (Life in a Garden) and explain its usefulness.
Testing Update
We just finished our Math MAP testing 1 1/2 weeks ago and 80% of the class met their improvement goal! That was the highest in the school and 35% higher than the district goal! So proud of the class-- they've worked so hard!
I'm wrapping up the Fountas and Pinnel testing now and it looks as though almost every student has improved by several letters!
Student Reflections
I wanted to try out this foldable this year to have the students reflect on their year and to help me see what stands out to them this year and to see what things they feel they need to keep working on or what they want to learn more about.
Most students expressed that they wanted to learn more about science and multiplication and the other answers for what they learned and are working on gave me a chance to really see how much they've grown and learned this year--very proud!
Estimation Review
We had a chance to review estimation this week using Fruit Loops!
A link to the worksheet we used is right here.
The end product ended up pretty cute-- they look like this when it's said and done:
The kids really had fun and got a chance to review!
Those are my classroom wrap ups! I will have end of the year activities in the next post--I can't believe next week is our last week already!
