Week of April 25, 2016
Dear Parents,
Another amazing week in second grade. In your Friday folder is a letter explaining our spring conferences and the time of the conference. This is a student led conference and your student should be with you at the conference. Please don't forget that Wednesday is Market Day. Your student will need to bring his/her items to school Wednesday morning. Thank you for your help with this project at home.
What's happening in the classroom:
Science and Social Studies:
We are finishing up our unit of inquiry, How We Organize Ourselves. This week we had a guest speaker from A+ Credit Union. The presenter talked about how to make a budget that included being able to balance spending and saving. We are also looking at the techniques of advertisement. Students have generated a list of techniques advertisers use. Student will apply what they learned this week and create an advertisement for their product to be used on Market Day.
Math:
We finished our look at financial literacy and began our study of fractions. Students are learning about how fractions have to be equal parts. We are also learning about fractions of a whole and fractions of a group. Students are responsible for understanding the fractions one-half, one-fourth, one eighth and one-third. We will be learning how to write fractions and what the different parts of a written fraction mean.
Writing:
Students have finished publishing their fairy tales. We are starting to learn about and write friendly letters.
Reading:
We have been supporting our unit of inquiry by learning about media literacy and making the connection to advertisement. We will continue to look at media literacy this week.
Word Work:
We are working on the high frequency words list 6. We are also working on our cursive and capitalization.
Secret word of the week; Market Day
