2nd Grade
Welcome to our class website! I am looking forward to a wonderful year of learning and growing together.
Winter Sports and Star Student PicturesPictures from before winter break...Upcoming Dates (new dates in red):
Since break the students have continued working on reading nonfiction with a focus on comparing and contrasting two nonfiction texts on the same topic. We have read about Volcanoes, Seeds and Grizzly bears! Monday, we will begin a new unit focusing on culture, community and reading fictional stories. Writing We began a new opinion writing unit. Last week, students practiced sorting facts vs. opinions, forming their own opinions and supporting their opinions with three reasons. This coming week we will begin writing opinion paragraphs. Be prepared to hear lots of opinions, but make sure your child is supporting their opinions with reasons and evidence. :-) Social Studies During this short unit, we are learning about current events. So far, we have discussed what a current event is and why they are important. We have also read a few current event articles and discussed how the event impacted people and/or nature. Next week, partners will read a few more current event articles together, take notes on the important parts, discuss how people and/or nature were impacted and also form their own opinions about what they learned. Math In math, we have continued working on double digit addition and subtraction story problems along with three step, double digit, addition story problems. Thank you for spending time with your child to write the ages of your family members! The kids had a lot of fun figuring out the difference in ages! Next week we will finish this Unit with some review practice Monday and assessment on Tuesday.
