This week our second grade students will be learning:
Reading: Students will learn to determine the meaning of words and phrases in a text relevant to a grade 2 topic or subject area.
Math: Students will learn to use addition to find the total number of objects arranged in rectangular arrays with up to 5 rows and up to 5 columns; write an equation to express the total as a sum of equal addends. Partition a rectangle into rows and columns of same-size squares and count to find the total number of them. They will determine whether a group of objects (up to 20) has an odd or even number of members, e.g., by pairing objects or counting them by 2s; write an equation to express an even number as a sum of two equal addend
Writing: Students will learn how to write an informative/explanatory text by introducing a topic by showing prior knowledge of a topic and working on gathering information and notes on that topic.
Science: Students will learn about growth and development of organisms. Students will also learn about Interdependent relationships in ecosystems
Social Studies: They will demonstrate chronological thinking by distinguishing among past, present and future using family or school events. Our students will compare life today with life in the past using the criteria of family, school jobs, or communication.
