Sharing Second Grade
A Peek at Our Week!
August 13 - 17, 2018
MATH:
2.1 - In our first math unit students will learn to understand place value. We will model, read, and write numbers to 1000 using base ten numerals, number names, and expanded form. We will skip count by 5s, 10s, and 100s within 1000. We will compare two three-digit numbers using <, =, and >, and record the results of the comparisons. We will also draw picture graphs and bar graphs to represent data and use the data to solve problems presented in the graphs. Click here for more information about our first unit.
2.2 - Our first unit focuses on applying base 10 understanding to addition and subtraction problems. Students will solve problems using concrete models, drawings, place-value strategies, properties of operations and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction. We’ll also use picture and bar graphs to represent and interpret data. Lastly, we’ll solve word problems based on money. Click here for information about our current unit.
3.1 - In our first math unit the students will develop and use an understanding of place value to round whole numbers to the nearest 10 and 100. In this unit we will also learn to fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value, properties of operations, and the relationship between addition and subtraction.

READING:
In our first reading unit our goal is to read with fluency, stamina, and comprehension. Students will learn strategies to tackle difficult words. As we read we will also discover some special techniques that our favorite authors use and apply them in our own writing.
WRITING:
In our first writing unit we are improving our narrative writing. Students are learning to stretch out and magnify their small moment stories by adding details and strong beginnings and endings. We will discover craft moves that authors use to create powerful stories and learn to add these techniques as we write.
SCIENCE:
This week students will describe, classify, and experiment with objects of different physical properties of matter; solids, liquids, gases. They will observe and explain how these properties can change and how the particles are organized in each.
Curriculum Night
We hope you will be able to attend Curriculum Night on August 27 at 6:00 pm. You will get a glimpse into your child’s day as you visit his/her homeroom/reading and math classes. The teachers will review classroom and school policies, procedures and routines at that time. We encourage everyone to attend!
