Language Arts: This week the students will be completing their middle of year writing benchmark on Wednesday. They will be given a prompt which is selected by our district, write their stories, and then I will score them based on the 6 traits of writing. We will also be reading the diary series by Doreen Cronin: Diary of a Worm, Diary of a Spider, and Diary of a Fly. We have some fun lessons planned to go along with our study of these books including creating diaries of our own.
Math: This week we will be working with word problems. Once we find the key words in the story problem we will practice different ways to solve it. We will focus on different strategies the students can use to help them solve the problems successfully. A few of the different strategies we will discuss are: drawing a picture, using objects, making a table, using logical reasoning, and looking for a pattern.
Science: This week in science we will learn about our Earth's natural resources which include the following......water, air, rocks, soil, and plants. Ask your child if they can tell you different uses for each natural resource!
Social Studies: This week we will begin a very fun unit in 2nd grade Social Studies! ECONOMICS! Look for a baggie with Flower Pen information to come home on Thursday. Ask your student about our Flower Pen Factory. This week we will set up our factory in class and send the order forms/information home.
