September in Review

We had a great start to the school year in second grade! We focused on building our classroom community and establishing routines. The skills we worked on include:

  • Building our stamina and monitoring our reading 
  • Reading and having conversations with a partner
  • Following the writing process and sharing our writing with others
  • Counting by tens, fives, and twos
  • Solving real world addition and subtraction problems within 20
  • Learning about the life cycle of a monarch

 

What Are We Learning in October?

Reading 

  • We will learn about characters’ traits and feelings by noticing what they say and do.  

Writing

  • We will write personal narratives. These are stories about small moments that gave us big feelings.

Math

  • We will begin the first part of our base 10 unit. In this unit, the students will read, write, and identify the place value of each digit in a two digit numeral. The students will also learn how to identify the number that is 10 more and 10 less than a given number, compare and order numbers, and round to the nearest ten. 

Science & Social Studies

  • We will learn about symbols, traditions, and United States geography.

Reminders:

  • Sign up for a parent teacher conference if you have not already done so.
  • Make sure your child comes to school with a snack, water bottle, and extra mask every day.
  • Contact the attendance office if there is a change to your child’s schedule.
