Wow - we are already moving into March! We have an exciting week this week!
2nd Grade will take our field trip to the Arboretum on Wednesday! We will leave school around 9:00am and return by 2:00pm. PLEASE make sure to send your child in their HCE Spirit Shirt and make sure they pack a sack lunch - it must all be disposable! No lunch boxes! We have to be able to throw everything away at the arboretum - thank you in advance!
Here is what we are learning this week...
Reading: Readers understand features of nonfiction texts and how they support the meaning of the book. We will look at: headings, subheadings, photos, captions, diagrams, maps, labels and the index and recognize the purpose that each feature serves!
Writing: We will continue our poetry unit! This week some things we are looking at are: poets using language to show what they mean instead of telling it, poets using precise words in their poems, poets using sensory details to help their reader visualize, and poets using patterns in their work.
Math: We will continue our unit on money looking at comparing amounts of money and real world money problems such as making change and how much money we have to spend!
Social Studies: In this part of our history unit, students will discuss how science and technology have changed the way people meet their basic needs.
Science: We will compare physical characteristics that animals share to help them meet their basic needs. We will also investigate the physical characteristics and behaviors of animals and how those characteristics help animals survive in their environment.
We are excited for marvelous March!
