Teamwork @ Garfield!!!
One reading strategy is visualization. In this fun activity students listened to a poem and drew what they could see in their mind's eye at three points in the poem. The end of the poem had a fun twist. It was a great activity and Mrs. Tierney has super creative students!
Mrs. Tierney's class is learning syllable types. This week our spelling pattern is long a with a vowel consonant e or silent e pattern. Students watched a fun musical video about using this syllable type pattern and got to have some Mike and Ike candies!
We used our sequence words to create Cookie Monsters. We learned how important is to use details and transition words.
Students led math review sessions. Each kid had the opportunity to teach other student how to do a Math problem. We love teaching our friends.
The kids practiced making equal groups to solve multiplication problems by using goldfish in a pond (plate) each group is a net and the number of fish caught in the net was the number in each group. We had fun with lots of laughs and working our brain muscle.
Mrs. Jacquinot 's student chose to buy a Read To The Class coupon from our Friday swag store. She did an amazing job! The students loved it! She read with such great expression!
Students are enjoying their donuts they earned after filling in the class IXL hundreds chart!
Last week in Mrs. Shields' art class, 2nd grade learned about the different types of lines, an Element of Art. After exploring works of art by Gustav Klimt and his "Tree of Life" painting, they applied their new knowledge of line types by creating their own "Tree of Lines".

Ms. Vaughn is proud to announce that James has leveled up in Xtra Math!!! Keep crushing those goals!!
Ms. Vaughn's class learned more about trees this week in our Science Spin. We became tree scientists and made our own observations and recorded our data.
Partner reading is a great way to practice our teamwork skills. Ms. Vaughn loves watching students use their leadership skills in the classroom.
This is a free and fun family night for Garfield families!! Dinner will be served! Mark your calendars!!
The kids have been learning about different cultures and traditions. This week we learned about and where dream catchers came from. So of course, we needed to make our own dream catchers. They all came out unique and creative.
