Week of 4-17-17

Dear parents,

Another amazing week in second grade. Please don't forget that market day is Wednesday, April 19. Please send the products in that morning. The spring carnival is next Friday, April 21 from 4:00 to 8:00. If you purchased a wristband ahead of time, they are in the Friday folder today. Please remember to return the yellow registration form by Monday. Thank you if you have already done this.

In the classroom:

science and social studies:
We worked on our advertisements for market day. Some students make posters on Piktochart and others drew them by hand. We also created a budget for a birthday party and worked on organizing our portfolios. Next week we will be returning to our game of life that we started the unit with, having market day, and reflecting about being a producer and consumer.

math:
We are working on math strategies for three digit addition and subtraction. We are using strategies such as open number-line, break-apart, and creating a model. We will continue with this next week and start to make exchanges for regrouping.

writing;
We have been focusing on using precise words in our writing. Next week, we will be starting a new personal narrative and taking it through the writing process.

reading:
We worked on context clues for unfamiliar words and using prefixes and suffixes to help with word meaning. Next week we will be focusing on summarizing.

word work:
word pattern hard and soft c and g
high frequency words: come, color, carry, give, go, giving, going, second, can, city cent, gem, giant

secret word: mountain

Have a wonderful weekend,
Ms. Hansen
