Here’s our learning for the week:
Writing We are continuing our focus on persuasive writing with special emphasis on adding 'extras' to reinforce our opinions. I would also like your child to get their favorite book from the media center/home on Monday. Please have them read it at home, so that they can give reasons with evidence from their text as to why their book needs to win an award! As I am analyzing their writing, I am noticing a repetition of ideas for the introduction and am exposing them to some new ones. Talk to your child about starting with dialogue or using words like ‘wow’ and ‘imagine’. Reading We will try and do a Readers Theater with our fairytales, as speaking with expression and different voices is an important standard in second grade. Our students are also learning to compare and contrast fairy tales and fables. Science We will begin our unit on space. This week we will focus on stars. Ask your child if he/she enjoyed the star lab experience on Friday! Math We will continue with 3 digit subtraction. After the break, we will be working on solving word problems using money. Please have your child mentally add and subtract money at home. For example, they should be able to add a dollar, 3 quarters, 5 dimes, 2 nickels and some pennies and be able to tell you the total.
