I hope you're all enjoying this beautiful holiday and 3 day weekend! We had a really great first week back and are so excited to see what 2018 has in store for us. :)
Here is what this week is going to look like in 2nd grade:
Language Arts: We're moving from Reading Logs to Book Reports! We will be sending chapter books home next week with your child. They will have 3 weeks to finish, reading 20 minutes each night. Thank you for your help with this and please reach out if you have questions.
Grammar: We're reviewing parts of speech and jumping back in with marking and editing sentences to help us prepare us for writing paragraphs!
Literature: We will be reading from our new book, The Cricket in Times Square. If you have not already please send the book in with your child. We will discuss what it is like to move from one place to another. We will also have a group discussion about a time we wanted something really badly and our parents wouldn’t let us have it. We will ask the kids if they were able to talk their parents into it, or if they realized why their parents told them no. We will read chapters 1-3 in the book and discuss characters.
Spalding Words: There will only be 20 words next week since there is no school on Monday.
Tuesday: yesterday, among, question, quest, doctor, size, December, dozen, there (not here), their (they), they're (they are)
Wednesday: tax, number, October, reason, fifth, baking, bake, bowl, cheap (eat)
Math: We are continuing to develop our understanding of multiplication and division and will have a test on Thursday. Keep an eye out for a study guide coming home on Wednesday evening to review with your mathematician!
Science: All living things are made up of microscopic cells. We will describe the relationship among cells, tissues, organs, and systems. Ask me about the body systems at home! What are they and what functions do they perform?
History: We will finish up our lessons on Ancient Greece. We will be learning about three great thinkers: Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. We will also talk about Alexander the Great, a brave man who conquered many lands and spread Greek ideas to many new places.
Have a great rest of your day!
