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!

This week our second grade students will be learning:

Reading:  Students will learn to ask and answer questions as who, what, where, when, why, and how to demonstrate understanding of key details in 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. 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 plants and how they grow.  They will explore life cycles of silkworms, mealworms and butterflies.

Social Studies: Students will explain why people cannot have everything they want (scarcity) and describe how people respond (choice). They will describe the natural, human, and capital resources needed for production of a good or service in a community

Complete daily assignments and return each day.
