Language Arts
The focus of this week's story was identifying the author's purpose (to entertain, to inform or to persuade). The story, Abraham Lincoln, taught us about President Lincoln's life and the great things he did while he was president. In preparation for our field trip on Tuesday, October 18th, our story next week will teach us about the pumpkin life cycle. The focus will be sequencing. A great free resource for online books is through the lane public library. You will have to log in with your library card number to utilize TUMBLE BOOKS. After clicking on the link below. Click on Kids at the top of the screen and scroll down to TUMBLE BOOKS and click. The books are read aloud to your child or your child can choose to read the books on his/her own.
Math
We have learned so much already this year in math. This week we finished Topic 3 and have just begun Topic 4. Your child can show you different strategies for adding two-digit numbers, solving story problems and identifying even and odd numbers. Check out the video below to help you understand how to break apart numbers. In Topic 4 we will learn how to add partial sums which is very similar to breaking apart numbers.
Break Apart Numbers
Science - Land Animals
Next week your child will begin researching and taking notes on a land animal that has been assigned to him/her. The following week these notes will be used to write a report. As part of this report your child will complete an at-home project. Details about this project will be sent home on Monday, October 24 and will be due on Friday, November 11. All Bogan second grade students will be participating in the report and project.
