Happy December! We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Break!
As you have seen, this week in Social Studies we are learning about the Continents and Oceans of our world, so we thought we would give you a few tools to help your 2nd grade student practice at home! Here is a great website for practice.. there are a few different games you can play to memorize the continents and oceans.

Also.. here is a song that you can use at home!

On Friday your student will have a quiz over the Continents and Oceans so please be sure to use the study guide sent home on Monday to help them study as we also learn these in class!
In Writing we are continuing our Writer's Workshop. We are learning about procedural/how-to texts by looking at recipes, rules to a game, how to make something, science experiments or directions. The students are working on writing a How-To on a topic that they are an expert about!
In Reading students will be reading procedural texts as listed above - we are looking at various examples!
In Math as we finish up our subtraction with regrouping unit, we are beginning part-part-whole in addition and subtraction. We are working with word problems and applying inverse operations!
In Science we continue our StemScopes units - we are finishing motion and beginning magnets! The students are really enjoying the hands-on experiments!
In Social Studies we are learning the different continents and oceans as listed above! Please encourage your student to study at home!
Coming up next week...
TOYS FOR TOTS! Please consider donating a gift for a family in need!
