We are Learning...
We will be wrapping up our study of traditional literature. We will be studying different versions of fairy tales, fables, and folktales. We will be comparing and contrasting different versions and we will also discuss the theme of each version.
Math:
We will be wrapping up our geometry unit mid week. We will then be starting anew unit on graphing!
Writing:
This week, we began our Fairy Tale writing unit. We have been looking at the different elements that go into writing a good fairy tale. We will be continuing this next week!
Science:
2nd Graders at Thorpe Creek Elementary will be issued a challenge to reduce, recycle and reuse. Students will be asked to think like a scientist in order to design a tool that meets a specific need. The materials for the tool MUST be reusable. We will focus on this for the remainder of the year!
Word Study:
Word study in 2nd grade includes spelling, phonics, and vocabulary development. We will be focusing on 15 new vocabulary words. Those words are: reduce, reuse, recycle, engineer, design, environment, pollution, hazardous waste, compost, landfill, biodegradable, energy, disposable, and conservation.
