This week our second grade students will be learning:

Reading:  Students will learn to explain how specific images (e.g., a diagram showing how a machine works) contribute to and clarify a 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. They will 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.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 plants and how they grow.  They will explore life cycles of silkworms, mealworms and butterflies.

Miller’s second and third grade classrooms performed vocally and with instruments beautifully today for parents, peers, siblings and teachers. It was a joy to see their happy faces.

Reminder

The field trip to the Ann Arbor Hands on Museum is on Monday, April 15th. Please make sure that your child brings a bag lunch with a drink and an extra snack. Please do not send any glass containers. We would love it if all the students wear their Miller shirts!

If you are a chaperone, please make sure that you are in the classroom no later than 8:50. Chaperones will need to bring a packed lunch as well. We will leave as soon as the buses arrive.

Thank you!
