Week 8

It has been another exciting week in 2nd grade!  

Language Arts/Social Studies:
The students learned about cause and effect and making connections with the text to help monitor their comprehension.  The students also got a chance to draw a picture of Chester the pig.  You may not know Chester, but he is special and unique. The marks on his body take the shape of the continents.  After learning about the 7 continents, students labeled them and the 5 oceans.  

Math:
Students are rocking place value in Math.  They are using their knowledge of place value to help them add numbers.  Keep working with your child with fact addition and subtraction fluency.  This will really help them as the numbers become larger. 

Science:
Don’t you know that water travels in a cycle?  2nd grade does.  We are still studying weather and this week our focus has been more about the water cycle.  The weather outside has been wonderful.  It is a great opportunity to take your child outside and make some observations.

Thank you parents for attending conferences and donating materials for Friday’s design challenge.  The students had a lot of fun!!  Be expecting to see their fantastic work at the Spirit Assembly next week.
