This Week in 2nd GradeMath- We have officially been introduced to the 100's place value! We will be working with writing numbers (written form) and expanded form (300+30+1=331). Eventually we will be adding and subtracting with regrouping. Science- The study of the Earth's changes is coming to a close. We will wrap things up with a fun culminating activity this week. Reading/Writing- Reading groups have been established and are running smoothly! Each student is in a small group that is reading a chapter book. Our groups read, re-read and then complete a reading comprehension activity. I love to hear the discussions and excitement the students are sharing about their books. Social Studies- The landform science unit will compliment the geography unit we just studied in Social Studies. We will be referencing quite a few maps in the next few weeks. Spelling- Spelling Lists will be in the students' Monday folders. STAR HomeworkSpelling lists will be tucked in the HW/Monday folders for this week.

This Week in 2nd GradeMath- We will ease back into our math routine with some review and word problem challenges this week. The students did well with the money unit but could use practice with telling time. We will continue to weave that in our daily rountines at school, but please work on it at home as well. Science- Our "Rock Buffet" was a hit on Thursday! These kids are so excited to learn and they make my job fun! We will shift our focus to slow and quick changes that occur to the Earth {volcanoes, glaciers, earthquakes, bull-dozers, etc.}. I'm looking forward to another week of hands on learning and activities with the kids! Reading/Writing- We will ease back into our reading routines this week as well. My goal is to have all the reading groups reading chapter books by next week. It's kind of a big deal! Social Studies- The landform science unit will compliment the geography unit we just studied in Social Studies. We will be referencing quite a few maps in the next few weeks. Spelling- Spelling Lists will be in the students' Monday folders. Parent Drivers Needed*We need drivers for our field trip to the Gateway Museum in Chico on April 17th.
