This week our second grade students will be working on:
Reading: Students will learn how to use information gained from the illustrations and words in a print or digital text to demonstrate understanding of its characters, setting, or plot.
Math: Students will learn to fluently add and subtract within 100 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction. They will also learn to fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies and by end of Grade 2, know from memory all sums of two one-digit numbers.
Writing: Students will work on writing narratives in which they recount a well-elaborated event or short sequence of events, include details to describe actions, thoughts, and feelings, use temporal words to signal event order, and provide a sense of closure. They will also with guidance and support from adults and peers, focus on a topic and strengthen writing as needed by revising and editing.
Science: Students will continue to learn about sand and rocks. They will be working on learning about the structures and properties of rocks.
Social Studies: Students will understand that communities are places where there is a government. They will learn how a community’s government keeps people safe. They will begin to explore urban, suburban and rural communities.
