Hello Families! It was a pleasure to see everyone at conferences! As the days get shorter and the weather gets colder, I am reminded how quickly this year as already gone. Here is what we have been up to in 2nd grade:
Reading: We continue to work on the skill of retelling as we narrow our focus to characters. As readers we have been really thinking about the characters we read about and listing character traits in a web. Next week, we'll add setting to our focus and how it relates to the characters in the story.
Writing: We have been working very hard drafting small moment stories that have a B, M, M, M and E (ask your child what the letters stand for). We have also focused on writing strong leads to hook our readers. In this unit, we will focus on the entire writing process which includes thoroughly editing and revising our work.
Spelling: We will finish our short vowel study with our review test on Wednesday. Then we will study the /ou/ and /ow/ sounds and then contractions.
Math: We just took our Unit 2 Test on Thursday. It will be returned on Wed. 10/26. Our next unit is Place Value, Time and Money.
Social Studies: We completed our 2nd unit: How Are Communities Different? The tests will come home on Wed 10/26. We will begin a new unit entitled How Do We Use Maps?
Science: We will begin to study about motion, specifically spinning.
Reminders:
*Book bags should be returned everyday with the book and completed book log.
*Our Fall Party is on Wednesday at 2:30.
