Math Workshop:
We just finished our geometry unit on shapes and their attributes. We are now working on unit 5: Partitioning. Standards in this unit include partitioning a rectangle into rows and columns of the same size squares, counting to find the total squares within the partitioned rectangle, partitioning circles and rectangles into two, three or four equal shares, and describing the shares using words such as halves, thirds, and fourths. Students will also be able to recognize that equal shares of identical wholes need not have the same shape.
Reading Workshop:
In reading workshop we continue to explore fairy tales and their elements. Students have enjoyed the fairy tales! Please enjoy the Fairy Tale Challenge and complete the sheet. This was sent home last week as an at home goal to read as many different fairy tales by the end of January.
Writing Workshop:
It's all about planning and writing fairy tales! Students are thoroughly enjoying creating characters, settings and problems. We have only just begun!
Social Studies
We are beginning our unit in Economics. Students have begun to explore needs and wants and the roles of producers and consumers. They will learn about saving and spending, too!
Cold Weather Gear:
Please make sure your student has all of their cold weather gear with them each day. We had some really cold kids this week with the crazy cold weather. Also, please label all of their winter clothing. We have a lot of black snow pants that easily get mixed up. Thank you so much for your support from home!
iPads:
Please make sure your child charges their iPad each night to 100%. In second grade we use the iPad many times throughout the day. We have had many students bringing them to school with little charge or forgetting their iPad at home. We appreciate your support from home!
