2B & 2D News!
December 7th-December 11th
What We Are Learning This Week
Language Arts: Our story of the week will be How To Catch Santa by Jean Reagan. Through this new holiday book, we will use ideas to make and confirm predictions, describe characters, and study nonfiction text. In writing, we will have a strong focus on writing a short letter, transition words and capitalization/punctuation in the salutation and closing of letters. Our spelling rule for this week is vowel patterns -o, -oa, and -ow. We will have our spelling test on December 11th. Please be sure to practice with your child.
Social Studies: We will continue our study on Holidays around the World! We will travel to France, Sweden and Germany to learn all about their winter holidays!
Math: We will continue working on all forms of word problems. We will work on adding and subtracting three-digit numbers in word problems, and we will work on subtraction word problems. Please continue working with students at home on basic addition and subtraction facts through Reflex or other at-home strategies. This will help them be much more successful with word problems in the classroom!
Science: We will continue recording weather data and moon observations each day. Students will learn more about how we measure temperature, rainfall, and wind speed as we conduct different hands-on classroom explorations with weather measurement tools.
Observing Our Moon
