Curriculum Night for 2nd grade parents is Wednesday, September 9 at 6:00. The evening is for parents only please. We will talk about this year's curriculum, daily procedures, and iPads. Please be sure to bring your child's apple id on Wednesday evening. Any questions, please call the school office. I'm looking forward to seeing you all again!
Reading Students will be taking the MAPs Reading and Math tests this week. It is a test taken on the computer similar to those they took last year. The kids should be familiar with it. Our class will be taking the tests each day in the morning.
We have been working on our Daily 5 structure and are building stamina during Read To Self and Read to Someone. We've learned how to choose "Good Fit" books. We'll begin Work on Writing and learn what good writers do to develop independence. We'll be reading several selections to learn how to make good text-to-self connections.
Grammar - We'll begin working on nouns this week.
Science We will continue a unit on nutrition! We met "Little D and the Royal Food Family" and learned the importance of eating foods from all 5 food groups. Ask your child what they have learned about the milk and meat groups. This week we will learn about the vegetable and fruit groups.
Math We'll continue to work on our first unit, Sorting and Graphing. We've been introduced to Work Places and will continue to practice using them.
