This past Friday was Fall Fun Day in 2nd grade and we started the day off with a Scarecrow parade to show that we are "Scaring Drugs Away"! We had a great turn out for the parade - thanks to all those who were able to come and see our scarecrows - all of the teachers agreed that this was the best looking group of scarecrows we've ever had at Kaufman before AND the most participation we've ever had. Thank you parents for your support and creativity! Here are just a few pictures from Friday....if you have any that you took with your own camera, please email them to us and we'll post them to our blog as well!
Also, last week in science we looked at chemical and physical changes. We used the playdough to show physical changes and we saw chemical changes while making the ice cream in a bag! Ask your student to tell you all about our Ice Cream experiment...it was so much fun!
This week in math we will continue with place value to the hundreds place. We will focus on ordering numbers from least to greatest, greatest to least, and comparing numbers using greater than, less than, and equal to. We will also look at number lines and decide where our number would fit correctly on the line. Remember we are now working with three digit numbers.
***Things you can review at home this week would be: three digit numbers, numbers that come before/after/between, and the value of each digit.
This week in social studies we will learn about what states border Texas and what county borders Texas. We will also learn about the word immigrant. This week we will have a special homework assignment on Tuesday in social studies. Students will be asked to fill out a family tree that we'll we send home. We will discuss ancestors and if they came to America from another country we would like to know. We will use the map to find these different places.
***If you have an ancestor that came to America from another country did they come through Ellis Island or Angel Island in California? We will learn a little about our heritage this week by learning about our families past.
This week in science we will begin to explore light and light energy. We will look at shadows and how they change depending on the position of the sun.
In Reading we will be reading Arthur stories by Marc Brown. We will compare and contrast stories and look at how Arthur has changed over the years. We will learn how to do a story map and we will learn about facts and opinions. In Writing we are learning how writers revise and improve their stories. In Word Study/Spelling we will be working with words that have the long u and long i sounds.
