Our students will be learning about many things this week including:

Reading:  Students will determine the meaning of words and phrases in a text relevant to a grade 2 topic or subject.  They will know and use various text features (e.g., captions, bold print, subheadings, glossaries, indexes, electronic menus, icons) to locate key facts or information in a text efficiently.

Math:  Students 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 addends.

Writing:  Students will write informative/explanatory texts in which they introduce a topic, use facts and definitions to develop points, and provide a concluding statement or section.  They will also, with guidance and support from adults and peers, focus on a topic and strengthen writing as needed by revising and editing

Social Studies:  Students will continue to learn about maps, map keys, legends, directional symbols and the campus rose.

Science:  Students will continue to investigate whether there is an earth material smaller than silt.  They will participate in several experiments.
