We have been writing Halloween stories. We are writing haunted houses for sale.  We are doing adding and subtracting.  We are also writing about what we are for Halloween. We are doing good in school. Next week is our Red Ribbon week.  Monday we wear red, Tues. we are nerds, Wed. we can be super heros, Thurs. is crazy hat day and Friday we can wear our pajamas.

We are talking about punctuation. We are counting mixed money.  Last Friday we got to buy things from our store with our money.  Thank you parents for sending us lots of prizes! We have already learned our doubles to 20.  Today we read, Punctuation takes a Vacation.  We are writing stories and reading them to each other.  We are doing super fun centers everyday. We love school!

We have been reading Black Lagoon books. We have been learning about nouns. We have been learning our  doubles. We have also been learning math and doing centers. We go to the library  every  two  weeks on Fridays. Second grade is a lot of fun!
