Ms. Erickson's Classroom Snippet
Take a Peek into our Week!
January 5th- January 8th 2016
Here is what we are learning and enjoying in our classroom this week...
Math: We will start the week with another day on money. Later in the week we will begin our multiplication unit with a look at arrays and things that come in groups.
Reading: We will begin continue to be figuring out what is the most important part! We will be analyzing how to find the main idea, topic, and important details in text.
Writing: This week we continue with ‘getting back to basics’ in writing. Students will be writing small moment stories while focusing on the writing process. We will review all steps: Brainstorming, Drafting, Editing and Revising.
Social Studies: Students will become geographers as they study the world, landforms, and maps. During this study, students will focus on the continents, oceans, U.S. and Texas landforms, and how to read/make a map. Parents, if you have ANY type of map (ex. city, state, neighborhood, building, etc.) that you would like to donate to the class, please have them bring them. These will be maps that we will pass around the class for all of the students to view. The more variety, the better!
Sight Words: We are learning the following words this week: before, don’t gave, laugh, only, sit, until, white
Please continue to work with your child to read, write, and spell these words with consistency.
Starting XtraMath
If your child has already signed up to our digital classroom and begun using Xtramath, then please note that your child will NOT have a note in their report envelope.
However, if your child is still using multiplication.com, next Friday (1/15), please enroll them into our Xtramath digital classroom.
Second Grade Enrichment Opportunity

We are offering a four week enrichment course of CHESS and LEGO ROBOTICS and we need your help! We need parents to help the lead volunteers facilitate these awesome experiences for the students!! No experience is necessary, just an extra set of hands and a willingness to help!! Please consider where you could donate an hour of your time. Without parent support, we can not offer this great opportunity!
