This week our second grade students will be learning:

Reading:  Students will learn to identify the main topic of a multiparagraph text as well as the focus of specific paragraphs within the text.

Math:  Students will learn to add and subtract within 1000, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method. Understand that in adding or subtracting three-digit numbers, one adds or subtracts hundreds and hundreds, tens and tens, ones and ones; and sometimes it is necessary to compose or decompose tens or hundreds. They will mentally add 10 or 100 to a given number 100-900, and mentally subtract 10 or 100 from a given number 100-900. Students will explain why addition and subtraction strategies work, using place value and the properties of operations.

Writing:  Students will learn how to write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events by developing believable characters in my story

Science: Students will learn about the plants and how they grow.
