Mrs. Dufresne's Second Grade
November 17 - 21, 2014
Curriculum Notes
In spelling we are focusing on commonly misspelled words for second graders. Check your student's planner to see which list your student is studying. It is also printed on this newsletter.
Our Math focus is adding double digit numbers. We are learning several strategies to help students add double digits, including making a new ten or hundred. We are also using addition strategies in word problems.
In Science we are studying the states of matter and are tying up maps and the seven continents in Social Studies.
