We are Learning...
Math: We will be wrapping up our focus on addition with and without regrouping and we will continue working on our math portion of our Gingertown PBL! Students will be using a variety of skills such as: measurement, addition, subtraction, fractions, perimeter, & more to help recreate Gingertown!
Word Study
Word study in 2nd grade includes spelling, phonics, and vocabulary development. We are focusing on 13 new vocabulary words until winter break. Those words are: income, profit,economics, need, want, resources, tragedy, effect, design, supply, scarcity, opportunity cost, and surplus!
Next week we will continue publishing and celebrating!
Social Studies: We will continue our study on economics. Students will describe how people in a community use productive resources, create a variety of businesses and industries, specialize in different types of jobs, and depend on each other to supply goods and services.
