I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed the
warmer temperatures. February has snuck
right up on us! Here is a look at some
of the things 2nd graders will be working on over the next few days…
In reading groups we will discuss the strategy of
visualization. Using various types of
text (fiction, narrative non-fiction, poetry), the children will have an
opportunity to record and talk about what they are visualizing in their heads
as they read.
Our Social Studies lesson this week will focus on the
country of Mexico as we continue our study of North America. We will read about life in Mexico, focusing
on various customs, landmarks, and foods.
We hope to incorporate a craft as well.
I hope you received the
Continents and Oceans study guide that came home with your child on
Friday. The assessment will be on
Thursday.
The spelling
words for the week will be a review of the “R-Controlled” vowels. We will also be assessing the children on the
100 High Frequency Words in preparation for the upcoming progress reports.
We will begin
Unit 6 of our math program on Monday.
This unit will look at graphing as a way of collecting and interpreting
data. In addition, we’ll look at
Comparison Number Stories and review various diagrams that can help us solve
number stories.
Friday will mark
our first official rehearsal for the upcoming Dr. Seuss show! You should have received a notice about the
date of the performance and the t-shirt each child will be wearing. If you did not receive these notices, please
let me know.
Enjoy your week!
