We are starting several new units in our class this week. Here is a quick overview of what we're working on in grade 2!
Language Arts - we will continue to work on writing "small moments" in Writer's Workshop. Students are learning about narrative writing and are completing writing pieces that are more focused on a specific topic. Our guided reading groups are going well and I'm impressed with the progress in the students' reading! Keep up the great work!
Science - we are starting a new unit this week called "Liquids and Solids". We have some very fun and interactive experiments to complete!
Social Studies - we are beginning our unit on technology and how it has changed over time. The students were able to come up with some excellent inventions for the future! Do you think that classroom blogs existed 10 years ago? :)
Math - we just completed our "Numbers to 100" unit in Math and we are starting our unit on "Addition and Subraction to 18". We got new whiteboards for our classroom to use during our daily mental math lessons! Please continue to practice numbers with your child at home - dice and card games are fun and educational at the same time! :)
Health - we have completed our "Power to Play" section in health and we will continue to focus on the importance of healthy eating and exercise. Our next focus in health will be on safety.
Can you tell that we're having a great time in grade 2? I'm excited about all the new things we are going to learn in 2012!
I hope everyone has a great week! Don't forget that Subway orders and money are due on Wednesday!
Mrs. Roberts :)
