Week of August 17th

Thank you to everyone who attended Open House last Thursday.  I appreciate you taking your time to come in to see our classroom and learn how we operate. I hope I was able to answer all any questions you had about second grade.

What are we learning in 403?

Reading: Introducing schema and how we use our schema while we read. Also, reviewing strategies to use when stuck on a word. We’re in our second week of choosing “just right” books for us and practicing skills modeled during mini lessons.

Math: Continuing on our place value unit to 1,000 also working on skip counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s

Writing: working on narrative writing

-Your child will bring in an item that reminds them of a memory they have to aid in writing a narrative.

Science: continuing our unit on matter and exploring how matter changes

STEM: practicing the engineering process to build a tower (Place Value)
