Month: September 2019

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 text. They will know and use various text features (e.g., captions, bold print, subheadings, glossaries, indexes, electronic menus, icons) to locate key facts or information in a text efficiently.

Math: Students will measure to determine how much longer one object is than another, expressing the length difference in terms of a standard length unit. They will measure the length of an object twice, using length units of different lengths for the two measurements; describe how the two measurements relate to the size of the unit chosen. Students 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.

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.

Science: Students will learn about the structure and properties of matter. Students will learn that different kinds of matter exist and many of them can be either solid or liquid, depending on temperature. Also, matter can be described and classified by its observable properties.

Social Studies:  Students will distinguish between physical(trees, clouds, weather) and human(buildings, playground, sidewalks) characteristics of places. They will also describe the means people create for moving people, goods, and ideas within the local community. They will learn that a community is a place where people live, work and play.

There will be a PTA meeting this Friday at 9 a.m.

The class with the most participation will get a pizza party!!!

If your child is trying to go on Clever or Zearn at home, they must be logged into their Dearborn Schools Gmail account on the browser. Their email address is their student number @gmail.com. Their password is their school password. All students use these everyday, therefore they should know them. If they forget I taped them into their take home folders.

example:

student number: 12345

12345@gmail.com

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 text. They will use information gained from the illustrations and words in a print or digital text to demonstrate understanding of its characters, setting, or plot.

Math: Students will practice and learn to measure the length of an object by selecting and using appropriate tools such as rulers, yardsticks, meter sticks, and measuring tapes.

Math bags went home with students today! They have addition and subtraction flashcards as well as an addition connect four game. Enjoy and practice these math resources with your child!

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 text. They will describe the overall structure of a story, including describing how the beginning introduces the story and the ending concludes the action.

Math: There is a math test on Wednesday over unit 1 with adding and subtracting within one hundred. Students will learn to fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies. By end of Grade 2, they will know from memory all sums of two one-digit numbers. They will fluently add and subtract within 100 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction. Students will use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem. They will measure the length of an object by selecting and using appropriate tools such as rulers, yardsticks, meter sticks, and measuring tapes.

Social Studies:  Students will review the basic needs of people including food, clothing and shelter. Students will learn how families meet their basic needs in the local community. They will learn that a community is a place where people live, work and play.

Students got their first book orders this week. They will be due back by September 30 (9/30). If you want to submit your order online just have your child get my class code.

Thursday (9/12) from 6:00 -7:30 P.M. All students and parents are welcome. I hope to see everyone there!
