Language Arts
In preparation for our field trip to Wendel farm next Tuesday, our main text this week was Life Cycle of a Pumpkin. Using facts from the story we learned about sequencing and singular and plural nouns. The rule for making a singular noun plural is if it ends in sh, ch, s or x add -es. If the noun ends with anything else just add -s. Our Raz-kids account has been reactivated! Remember to use this resource at home to help your child with reading fluency and comprehension. Here is the link to Raz-kids:
Math
We are learning how to add two-digit numbers with regrouping. This is the math that you and I grew up doing! First, add the ones. Carry the ten if the ones add up to more than 9. Add the tens. I encourage the students to rewrite the problems vertically when they are presented horizontally. Be sure your child is practicing his/her addition facts at home. All second graders should be fluent in the addition facts 0-20 by December. A BIG congratulations to Noah who mastered his addition facts on Xtramath and earned a pizza from Larosa's! Below is a video that explains how we are solving problems with regrouping. Watch the video with your child and ask your child to show YOU how we solve the problem!
Regrouping to Add
Science - Land Animals
Your child has begun researching and taking notes on his/her land animal. The note taking and the report itself will be written at school. The land animal project will be assigned and the information and grading details will be sent home on October 24. ALL WORK ON THE PROJECT MUST BE DONE AT HOME. The project is due no later than Friday, November 11. All students are required to complete the project.
Field Trip to Wendel Farm
Our field trip is on Tuesday. We will leave PROMPTLY at 9:15 a.m. rain or shine. Please send your child with a sack lunch, sturdy walking shoes, long pants and a jacket. NO UMBRELLAS, please. It will be a long day, so please send an extra bottled water for your child to have during the afternoon on the trip. I will take a large cooler to keep the water bottles cool.
