Focus for the Week of December 4, 2017

Our second grade students will be working and practicing these skills this week:

Reading:  Students will learn to recount stories, including fables and folktales from diverse cultures, and determine their central message, lesson, or moral.

Writing: Students will learn to write 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.

Math:  Students will learn to understand that the three digit number represent amounts of hundreds, tens, and ones; e.g. 706 equals 7 hundreds, 0 tens, and 6 ones.

Science:  After identifying three states of matter (solid, liquid, gas), students observe a variety of solid objects. After a period of free exploration, students describe properties of the objects and develop vocabulary in order to communicate their thinking about those properties.
