Look at what we will be learning about this week:

Reading:  This week we will focus on authors purpose, cause and effect and asking wondering questions when reading fiction and non fiction stories to help build comprehension. Students will use their 5W’s +1 organizer to help them ask and answer questions about their stories.

Math:  This week in Unit 9 we will be working with liquid measures, capacity, weight and reviewing for NWEA.

Writing:  We will be starting the 2nd grade informational writing prompt.  The topic is:  What are ways you can conserve water?  The students will be watching videos, and reading articles to learn and gather their information for their paper.

Science:  We will be planting sunflower seeds and starting our plant observation books and learning about the life cycle of the plant, learning  the names for each part of  the plant and the important job each part has for the plant to survive as we watch them grow!

Social Studies:  We will be learning about the different types of resources a community has:  natural, human and capital, the difference between them and if they are limited, this can cause scarcity.  We will also learn why businesses in our community are important and how they help meet our needs in a community.
