Polkadot Class Happenings
Week of September 9th - 13th
What We Are Learning This Week
Reading Workshop
In reading this week, we will be learning strategies for picking Just Right Books. Picking Just Right Books is important in helping your child grow as a reader. We will also learn how to take care of books and begin picking out books from our classroom library. You can support your child at home by encouraging your child to practice choosing books that are Just Right for him/her using the strategies they learned in school.
Writing Workshop
We have been working hard on brainstorming writing ideas and began writing personal narrative stories. This week we will be picking a story we've been working on and taking it through the writing process.
Math
We have completed our Graphing Unit and will be moving on to learning about time. We will continue to spiral back to graphing throughout the year. This week we will learn about analog and digital clocks, the parts of a clock, and how to read analog clocks. We will work on this skill all year long and mastery is not expected until the end of the year. You can support your child at home by encouraging your child to practice counting around the clock by 5's and practice telling the time throughout the day.
Social Studies
Other Important Information
Parent Orientation - Second Grade is planning our Parent Orientation Night where we will talk about our curriculum, homework, schedule, and more. More information will be coming in the following weeks. Please keep your eye out for a flyer with the time and date in your child's blue Home Folder.
Running Club Update - Designated days will be set aside for K-2 and 3-5 for Running Club in order to manage the number of students on the track in the mornings. I will let you know what days will be designated for K-2 as soon as I can. If your child has never been to running club, please encourage him/her to attend. This is a great opportunity to get in some early morning exercise. If your child eats breakfast at school, please remind him/her that s/he needs to eat breakfast before going to running club.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
