Please help your child study for the Social Studies test tomorrow. The study guide is in their blue folder. Please focus on opportunity cost (your 2nd choice), natural resources, capital resources, human resources, scarcity, goods, services, specialization(producing certain kinds of goods and services), and trade.

All students have reading and math lessons assigned on the computer that they can work on at home.  Your student can go to MobyMax through clever by signing in through their email and password.  They have been on this website many times in class and this should be easy for them.

Our second grade students will be working on:

Reading: Students will learn to recount stories, including fables and folktales from diverse cultures, and determine their central message, lesson, or moral.

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

Math:  Students will learn to use addition to find the total number of objects arranged in rectangular arrays with up to 5 rows and up to 5 columns; write an equation to express the total as a sum of equal addends.

Science:  Students will plan and conduct an investigation to describe and classify different kinds of liquids by their observable properties.

Social Studies:  Students will be learning to understand what scarcity is and what natural resources are and how they are used.

There is no school next week! I know everyone is excited to spend time with family and friends. Please encourage your child to read daily for 30 minutes. I have added assignments for Math on Moby Max so please have your child start exploring the lessons over the break. MyOn is also a good site to use for reading and answering questions to strengthen comprehension.

Tomorrow  is Valentine’s Day. Your child is welcome to bring in cards and/or candy to pass out. Please make sure that it is peanut free. There are 24 students so please make sure you send in enough for every student. This should be a fun day and I know the kids are very excited!

Our Unit 5 Math Test is tomorrow, February 14th. The study guide was sent home today. Please review this with your child. We are focusing on 2-D and 3-D shapes, adding and subtracting on a number line, using the break apart strategy to add or subtract, and fact families.

Our second grade students will be working on:

Reading:   Students will learn to describe how reasons support specific points the author makes in a text.

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

Math:  Students will learn to add up to four two-digit numbers using strategies based on place value and properties of operations.  The will use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve word problems involving lengths that are given in the same units. e.g., by using drawings (such as drawings of rulers) and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem numbers.

Science:  Students will plan and conduct an investigation to describe and classify different kinds of liquids by their observable properties.

Social Studies:  Students will be learning to understand what scarcity is and what natural resources are and how they are used.

There is a PTA meeting/open house in the cafeteria 9 AM.  The topic will be nutrition and hygiene.
