This week in 2nd grade...

Writing

We are continuing labs this week and will conclude the labs by Friday. 

NEXT WEEK: We will begin writing about something we know a lot about. I talked to the class yesterday about how it needs to be something they consider themselves experts in! For example: If they want to write about basketball, they need to know rules, how to play, etc. Please help your child begin thinking at home about topics they would be interested in and know a lot about. We will not be doing research, but simply writing from what we know.

Math

We will conclude geometry with a test on Friday of this week. Be watching for a review to come home on Thursday. This week we will focus on cutting apart (partitioning) shapes to make new shapes.

Reading

We are continuing with non-fiction text features. We will talk about labels/diagrams, photographs/captions, and how the author creates their topic. This will relate into our writing in talking about adding these text features into the writing we are doing in class. 

Social Studies

We will start civics this week and begin studying elections and government!

As always, let me know if you have any questions! klister@cpsk12.org or on Remind!

Here are some pictures for you to enjoy from our study of shapes last week. We made the shapes with our bodies and then traced the sides/angles on the Smartboard!
