We are Learning...
This week we will be focusing on how to identify the main idea of a story!
Math:
We will wrap up our topic on collecting and organizing data. Then how to create a graph out of that data.
Writing:
We will continue our fairy tale writing unit. We will be looking deeper into the different elements that make a good fairy tale!
Science:
Don't forget to send in your child's items for our recycling PBL by next week!
2nd Graders at Thorpe Creek Elementary will be issued a challenge to reduce, recycle and reuse. Students will be asked to think like a scientist in order to design a tool that meets a specific need. The materials for the tool MUST be reusable. We will wrap this up next week. We will also finish up our study on the life cycle of a chicken and they will be returned to the PURDUE 4-H next week!! We are going to miss them! We have had so much fun watching them hatch and grow!!
Word Study:
Word study in 2nd grade includes spelling, phonics, and vocabulary development. We will be focusing on 15 new vocabulary words. Those words are: reduce, reuse, recycle, engineer, design, environment, pollution, hazardous waste, compost, landfill, biodegradable, energy, disposable, and conservation.
