Second Grade News You Can Use

Week of October 7-October 10
Well, here we are already in our 2nd six weeks, and we're excited that fall has finally arrived! We are also thrilled that flex groups are underway! Flexible grouping is an instructional strategy that ensures all students achieve grade-level standards necessary to meet the demands that our second graders will face in third grade. Groups are based on an evaluation of MAP data as well as performance in the classroom thus far. Groups will change as new data becomes available. Depending on individual needs, students may or may not be with their homeroom teacher. We believe that use of flexible grouping will allow us to provide all students with targeted and appropriate reading instruction. Should you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact your child's homeroom teacher.
This Week in...
- Reading- We will recognize chronological order and cause /effect text structures so that I can read and understand informational texts.
- Grammar Skills-We will make and use contractions so that I can understand how the meaning of a word changes when a sound is added, changed, or removed.
- Math- We will compare values of three-digit numbers so that I can show what I know about place value.
- Science- We will combine objects based on physical properties that when put together can do things that they cannot do by themselves.
- Social Studies- We will use primary sources to describe the past.
Please Remember...
