Sharing Second Grade
A Peek at Our Week
February 26 - March 2, 2018
MATH:
2.2 - This week students will participate in activities and stations to review the skills in unit 4 as we prepare for the post assessment. Ask your child about the Basketball Review! Keep practicing addition and subtraction facts at home!
3.1 - Students have wrapped up work on Unit 1: Numbers and Operations in Base Ten. We'll review on Monday and take the unit assessment on Wednesday. We won't have math on Tuesday due to the in-house field trip: High Touch High Tech. Students will have the opportunity to work on their test on Thursday if they need more time. For the remainder of the week we'll play some math games to practice addition, subtraction and multiplication facts.
3.2 - This week students will explain the equivalence of fractions by using visual fraction models and also compare fractions by reasoning about their size. Keep practicing addition, subtraction, and multiplication facts!
READING:
We are wrapping up our narrative unit which has focused on three aspects of reading: fluency, literary language, and tracking longer stories. This week students are meeting in their book clubs one more time to review their goals, evaluate how well their plans worked, and design helpful feedback for classmates. Students will demonstrate what they've learned throughout this unit on the reading post assessment.
WRITING:
This week we are celebrating our poetry unit. Our students have already crafted a wealth of wonderful poems as they have learned to use line breaks, figurative language, comparisons, repetition, and different structures to convey special meanings. This week students are adding finishing touches and revisions in preparation for the Poetry Jam celebration! We cannot wait to share our poetic masterpieces with you!
SCIENCE:
This week we will begin a new science unit on life cycles. Students will participate in hands-on activities as they determine the sequence of the life cycle of plants and animals found in Georgia.
