Week of March 9, 2015
Dear Parents,
One more wonderful week in second grade. We started our week with our Read Across America celebration and made some gooey Ooblek. We ended the week with an amazing choir concert with choirs from around the world. Next week is going to be just as exciting. We have principal's pride Monday at 8:00 and end the week with enrichment day on Friday. The following week will be spring break.
Students will be creating a personal timeline Monday. I asked students to write down three or four dates for their timeline and bring them to school Monday. Thank you for your help.
Social Studies/Science:
We played with and learned about Ooblek. We learning about weather and climate. We have been recording weather observations in our weather notebook. We learned about landforms and created presentations and shared them with the class. We will finish the week with an investigation into state and national symbols. Students are researching and creating a symbols book. Next week we will be taking a look at our national and state government. We will be deciding on a government for the community we will be making as our summative project for Where We Are in Place and Time unit of inquiry. Students will be creating the community in the educational version on Minecraft.
Math;
We continue with our study of things that come in groups. We have been looking at different models of multiplication. We have worked on groups of. We have also looked at the array model of multiplication. We will be using what we have learned and apply that to problem solving next week. We will also take a look at fair shares. We will be studying concrete models of division.
Writing:
We will continue with our study of writers' craft and continue working on taking a piece of writing through the writing process.
Reading:
We are learning about research including using text features to help find information. We will also be looking at timelines as a source of information. We are also working on the comprehension strategy: I think... I see... I wonder...
I hope everyone enjoys the sunny weather. Have a wonderful weekend.
