October 5-9

Happy October everyone! We hope you’re enjoying this “Fall” weather we are finally seeing a little bit of! 

Here’s what we are learning this week in 2^nd grade…

Reading – Readers create story arcs for familiar and unfamiliar texts. We will learn how to map our stories and the events in them!

Writing – Writers write to teach and read to learn. We will continue to work on our nonfiction topic books. We will also talk about things good writers do such as: including a “who” and a “what” in complete sentences, using capital letters and ending punctuation in every sentence, using our writing folders to spell sight words correctly, and revising our pieces.

Math – We will begin addition with regrouping this week! We will talk about magic number 9 and how we know when to regroup! We will use base ten blocks to model why we regroup.

Social Studies – We will wrap up our study of symbols by finishing up U.S. Symbols! We will continue to look at what they stand for and what their significance is to our country.

Science – We will wrap up our study of matter, what it is, and how it can change!
