For our first week of school, we will be getting to know each other through various games and activities in both classes. We will also be practicing our daily routines and expectations for the year.
Each student will bring home a "Getting to Know You" bag on the first day in their Red Homework Folder. There will be directions attached to the bag and they can work on it all week at home, and then bring it in on Friday to share with the class. This will be their only homework for this first week, along with studying their spelling/word study list that will come home on Monday as well.
In Math we’re going to be working on geometry, graphing, number sense, and problem solving. Keep on practicing those facts to 18, as we will be learning more about addition and subtraction strategies. Citizenship is our theme in Social Studies. We will discuss how to solve problems (small and large) and how to get along with others in our classroom community. In Science, we will be learning the basics of the scientific process, safety in science labs, and about the tools we will be using as scientists. In Language Arts we will be studying words with the short a sound, and writing and reading stories about our summer vacations.
It's going to be a great week of learning in 2nd grade!
