Sharing Second Grade
A Peek Our Week!
December 4, 2017
MATH:
2.1 - This week students will continue to measure the length of objects in both customary (inches and feet) and metric (centimeters and meters). Students will also learn to compare various lengths and solve problems that involve addition and subtraction. Keep practicing addition and subtraction facts at home!
2.2 - We completed our study of arrays and will be moving on to collecting and analyzing data. I have planned for us to finish the last 2nd grade unit in 2-weeks and then start on our first 3rd grade unit in January. We'll have few extra days before the winter break that I'm going to use to work on telling time. Don't forget those subtraction facts and RedBird!
3.1 - This week students will continue to explore the relationship between multiplication and division. Students will review the Commutative Property which allows you to change the order of the factors while the product stays the same; 4x5=20, 5x4=20. They will also learn to use the Associative Property to multiply 3 factors, changing the grouping of the factors; 4x(3x1)=12, (4x3)x1=12.
Keep practicing addition and subtraction facts!
READING:
This week students will continue to explore different characters in realistic fiction stories! We will study a variety of characters and examine their motivations, reactions, and responses to problems and events in the texts.
WRITING:
Students will continue to generate and write realistic fiction stories featuring a central character. They will introduce their character in 'Book One' and develop subsequent texts as they write their character in and out of precarious problems!
SCIENCE:
We are excited to start a new science unit this week! Students will learn about stars and constellations, and discover the differences of stars based on size and brightness.
Evening of the Arts
Each CCES student will have a framed artwork on display gallery-style in the Gym. Framing is available for purchase that evening for $25 Cash or check only. Please be assured, your child’s artwork will be returned to them if the framing is not purchased. We would love for you to come to our event even if you do not choose to purchase the frame! If you are unable to attend the Art Show, you still have an opportunity to purchase the frame containing your child’s artwork. From Monday, November 27th until Tuesday, December 5th, you may send $25 cash or check to school with your child. Please place inside an envelope with your child/children’s name on the outside and have them bring it to Mrs. Steffensen in the Art Room. Proceeds from the sale go directly towards the purchase of art supplies for CCES student artists. We thank you for your support!
Redbird Math at Home
Fulton County is excited to offer this web based individualized math program to our students! Your child has an account and already accesses it in class to work on concepts and skills at his/her ability level and pace. CCE has also incorporated the program into math homework to help students advance at home as well. Click the following link to read additional information about Redbird.
