Weekly Focus for October 22-26

This week our second grade students will be working on:

Reading:  Students will learn to ask and answer such questions as who, what, where, when, why, and how to demonstrate understanding of key details in a non-fiction text.

Math:  Students will understand that the three digits of a three-digit number represent amounts of hundreds, tens, and ones; e.g., 706 equals 7 hundreds, 0 tens, and 6 ones. They will understand the following as special cases: Count within 1000; skip-count by 5s, 10s, and 100s.
Read and write numbers to 1000 using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form.

Writing:  Students will 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. They will use adjectives and adverbs, and choose between them depending on what is to be modified. Also, they will produce, expand and rearrange complete simple and compound sentences.

Science: Students will continue to learn about the roles of water in Earth’s surface processes. This also includes Earth materials and systems.

Social Studies:  Students will  use maps to describe the spatial organization of the local community by applying concepts including relative location and using distance, direction, and scale. They will learn to describe land use in the community(e.g.where people live, where services are provided, where products are made. They will construct maps of the local community that contain symbols, labels, and legends denoting human and natural characteristics of place.
