This Week: April 17-21
Please note that although each 2nd grade classroom focuses on the same skills at the same time, each classroom and teacher has her own unique personality and teaching style that varies in each 2nd grade room. For detailed questions, please contact your child's teacher.
Math: We are learning about measurement of both customary and metric with Chapter 15. We will then be focusing on our last chapter (16) which focuses on telling time and reading different types of data. The 2nd semester we are focusing on learning and then mastering our subtraction facts with rocket math!
Reading/Language Arts: We are reading Red, White, and Blue this week. We will be focusing on fact and opinion. We are also learning about what to capitalize, abbreviations, and multiple meaning words. We have a reading test usually every other Friday which consists of comprehension, written response, and phonics skills. We are also incorporating more writing prompts based on the weekly story that we are reading. These writing prompts are a great way to help the students prepare for 3rd grade while also building their writing skills and confidence in finding answers in a text.
Word Work: The -ain word family. Tests are always on Fridays.
Science/Social Studies: Economics and the body systems.
