Weekly Update 1/19/15

Welcome back from a LONG weekend!  This week will be short, but also busy and fun…

 

Writing
We are continuing our Opinion Writing Unit by reviewing some of our favorite (or not so favorite!) restaurants.  We will discuss how to use voice and the special language of a Reviewer in our pieces. 

 

Reading
This week will be a continuation of last week as groups practice making predictions before, during, and after reading. 

 

Math
The class will be working on place value activities, comparing 3 digit numbers, and also arrays (an introduction to multiplication).

 

Social Studies
We will meet with all the 2^nd grade classes to “fly out” as we embark on our trip around the world.  We will “visit” each of the seven continents over the next few months to learn about our amazing world.  This is a very exciting unit for students and we are eager to get started!

 

**Starting next week, 2^nd grade homework will look a little bit different.  Please look for a note coming home at the end of this week detailing all of the changes.**
