SECOND GRADE NEWS!
August/September 2017 ~ Hunt Elementary
BACK TO SCHOOL FUN!
We started off the school year on the bright side! Literally! On the first day of school we went out to see the eclipse! The first week of school, we focused on getting to know each other and learning all about our new teachers and classmates!
MATH
LANGUAGE ARTS and SOCIAL STUDIES
We have an exciting unit in Language Arts and Socials Studies about citizenship. We will be reading stories in a variety of texts tied to our theme to learn how to be a good citizen at home, school, in our community, and in our country. We are learning about the steps of the writing process, how to write a letter, and how to write a descriptive paragraph. For grammar, we are beginning to take a look at parts of speech, reviewing ending punctuation, and types of sentences. All of our Language Arts and Social Studies revolve around reading and learning from the variety of texts that we read.
SCIENCE
Currently, students are exploring the role of scientists and engineers and are introduced to some of the tools and processes used when investigating the natural and designed world. During the health unit, students will explore the knowledge and skills needed to maintain good health and, most importantly, the inclination to be an active participant in maintaining healthy lives.
