Ms. Hallman's 2nd Grade Pirates
Week of September 16, 2013
Class News
*This morning we began Word Study. It is very similar to the Word Study your child had in 1st grade last year. Grouping for word study is based on children's spelling needs as assessed @ the end of 1st grade.
* In math, we are working on Common Core Standard 2.G.2- portioning a rectangle into rows.
* We switch gears from Science to Social Studies for the remainder of the grading period. This week we will focus on the 3 main types of community- rural, suburban and urban (large cities like Charlotte)
* We are learning how to stretch out our small moment ideas and begin to add more detail to our writing workshop stories.
I am sending home a book order form this week that will be due back to school by Monday, Sept. 23rd. I encourage parents to buy your child @ least 1 book to show them that you value books and reading.
