Family Focus
This year we are taking more of a family focused approach to homework. We believe that spending quality family time is vital in the success of your student. We will provide family friendly, engaging homework activities and assignments. We would love if you would send us pictures of these activities and share them with us.
This weeks Family focus:Discuss the difference between goods and services. As you are out and about this week discuss different goods and services that you purchase. Have students identify different ones that they recognize.
Academics
ELAR: This week we will read informational text on different animals and focus on various text features that help us to understand the text. Students will work in groups to research information on a specific animal and will share out what they discovered with the class.
Math: Students will write and solve one-step word problems involving addition and subtraction using data represented within pictographs and bar graphs with intervals of one.
Science: Students will identify factors in the environment that affect plants and animals growth and behavior.
Social Studies: Students will explain how work provides income to purchase goods and services.
2nd Grade Adventures
In order to promote high attendance, we will be spelling out the word ATTENDANCE. Each day that our class has 100% attendance a letter will be added. When the whole word is spelled out, we will celebrate. We will also have a school wide prize for the grade level with the highest attendance. Please help us reach our goal in 2nd grade!
