We had another fun filled week in school! Here are some highlights from our learning:
Reading- This week in reading we worked on strategies to help your child comprehend the stories they are reading. We covered Rocky the Raccoon (Visualizing)and Jabber the Reteller (Retelling). Ask your child to practice some of these strategies as they read at home. We will continue to cover more comprehension strategies next week.
Writing – We finished our second personal narrative and talked about revision and editing. The students used checklists to ensure that they completed the revision and editing process. Once we finished our narratives, we started a creative witch story in writing. We made a witch craft to go along with our Halloween writing.
Math – In math we finished lessons from Unit two up to 2.10. We focused on learning about writing subtraction story problems and patterns with odd and even numbers. Our Unit 2 Math test is Thursday, October 26th. Please go over the At- Home Review that was sent home at the beginning of the unit with your child. There is no need to send this back to school. It is only for practicing at home.
Social Studies- This week we made our Flat Stanleys and got them ready for travel. We brainstormed questions that we wanted to ask about other communities that we will be sending along with Stanley. Please send them out soon so that we can begin learning about his travels.
Mindfulness— Mrs. Carol visited us on Thursday this week and while she was here the students continued to practice mindful breathing and she talked about bucket filling and bucket dipping. Ask your child what it means to be a bucket filler. We have included a link for the audio version of the book Mrs. Carol read with us.
Have a wonderful weekend!
The Second Grade Team
