Sharing Second Grade
A Peek at our Week
March 19 - 23, 2018
MATH:
2.2 - Students will continue the geometry unit this week. They will learn to partition a rectangle into rows and columns of same size squares and count to find the total. As always, continue to practice addition and subtraction facts at home!
3.1 - Students will be diving deeper into the relationship between multiplication and division by learning about the commutative, associative and distributive properties of multiplication. Please practice multiplication facts daily.
3.2 - This week students will generate measurement data by measuring lengths using rulers marked with halves and fourths of an inch. Students will show the data by making a line plot, where the horizontal scale is marked off in appropriate units - whole numbers, halves, or quarters. Keep practicing addition, subtraction, and multiplication facts!
READING: This week students are continuing their work in a non-fiction book club. They will study text structures to discover how authors share information in creative and interesting ways. They will determine the main idea and key details in a section of a text. They will then use what they know about each section to tell how it relates to what the whole book is teaching them.
WRITING:
Students are sharing scientific ideas by creating a hypothesis and detailed procedures for a class experiment. This week students will spend a lot of time writing and thinking about their conclusion. They will push themselves to ask Why? and then offer the best explanation they can based on their results. As they continue to learn more about forces and motion from mentor texts they will improve and revise their writing using all that they've learned.
SCIENCE:
This week we will continue our science unit on life cycles. Students will participate in cross-class rotations as they engage in hands-on activities to determine the sequence of the life cycle of plants and animals found in Georgia. They will also begin to plan and create a life cycle comic strip. In this project they will use scientific vocabulary and diagrams to describe the life cycle of an insect or animal.
