Announcements:
If your scholar attends morning math intervention in the MPR, please note that there will be no intervention sessions held this week on Wednesday the 7th and Friday the 9th to accommodate for state testing.
During the school day scholars need a healthy snack, one lunch, and another snack if they stay after school for atheneum. Some scholars are letting us know that they are still hungry at the end of the day. Consider talking with your scholar about what they eat at school and if they feel they might need more to eat.
Academics
|
Math |
We will wrap up our unit on telling time with a quiz on Wednesday, then we will begin our unit on graphs. |
|
Reading |
We will continue to read Sarah Plain and Tall as a class, and practice answering reading comprehension questions after each chapter. We will identify the type of text, then concentrate on finding the essential ideas, events or details from the given text. |
|
Poetry |
We will begin “Smart” by Shel Silverstein. |
|
Language Arts |
Students will practice identifying story elements such as character, setting, problem, and solution. They will use their findings to create a story summary of a tale from the Underground Railroad. |
|
Spalding |
We will be learning 10 new words on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. We will review all 30 words on Thursday and test on Friday. |
|
Science |
We will continue to learn about the human body - specifically cells and tissue |
|
History & Geography |
We will continue learning about the Civil War. This week we will learn about the start of the war and some key leaders. Due to the more serious nature of this content, we encourage you to have conversations with your scholars about the things they are learning. |
Best,
The Second Grade Team
