We
had a shorter week, but we were still learning a lot!
In
Math, we worked on story problems using TIPS. We learned about how to show our
work using different strategies such as pictures, tally marks, the bumpy road,
tens and ones, and keeping the number whole. They are doing a nice job.
We
also read a story called Two of
Everything. In the story, there is a magic pot that
whatever gets put in, doubles. We wrote our own magic pot problems too! We also
learned 2 new games to help with our doubles facts called Double It and Double
Arrays.
In
Fundations, we are learning and practicing closed syllable exceptions. We will
continue to work on this next week too.
In
Writing, we practiced writing stories. We also wrote a friendly letter to our
parents about our week in school. They did a nice job.
*Look for your child's letter in
the backpack folder.
In
Social Studies, we learned about Christopher Columbus. We read about him, watched
a short video, and learned a fun song.
In
Science, we have started learning about trees. The two types we are learning about are deciduous
and evergreen. I hope you saw the special notice about the family tree project.
It is one of my favorite projects in second grade. They are due on October 30th.
*Also,
we are participating in a school wide vocabulary parade on October 31st.
Your child will be dressing up as a special verb word.
*Please
look for the notice in your child’s backpack folder for more information. If you have any questions, please let me know.
Have
a nice weekend!
