Sharing Second Grade
A Peek at Our Week
March 12 - 16, 2018
MATH:
2.2 - This week students will continue the geometry unit. Students will recognize and draw shapes according to their attributes (number of angles and faces). They will learn to identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes. As always, continue to practice addition and subtraction facts at home!
3.1 - We're diving into our new unit by learning different ways to solve for products and quotients of whole numbers up to 100. Students will review arrays and repeated addition and learn about repeated subtraction to solve division problems. We'll use models to solve and games to practice our math this week. And as always, practice those multiplication facts every night!
3.2 - This week students will continue to work with shapes and number lines to identify equivalent fractions, compare and order fractions, and write fractions as a whole number. 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.
