Here is what we are working on in 2nd grade:
Writing: Students have begun researching animals found in Georgia. After researching, students will take their topic through the writing process and will share knowledge learned by applying the craft of Informational Writing. ————————————————————-- Reading: In addition to daily independent practice to build stamina and increase fluency, students will read to gain knowledge and explore the lives of the Creek and Cherokee from long ago. This week’s spelling pattern is “oo” vowel team sounds. The spelling pattern and RI.1 will be assessed next Friday, November 8. ———————————————————-- Math: Students will continue to explore two-digit numbers and will use different strategies to find the solution (expanded form, base ten drawings, number line, decomposition). Students will practice Error Analysis to strengthen and show their understanding of the concepts being taught. This week, we will look at the numberline strategy for adding and subtracting strategy. Students are working on fact fluency for 11-20 this quarter as well. ————————————————————-- Social Studies Inquiry: Students will continue to explore the regions and major rivers of Georgia, as well as how a community adapts to their surroundings by using its natural resources. We will make connections with the Central Idea, “Living things adapt to their environment.” Finally, students will compare/contrast our lives now with the Creek and Cherokee of long ago. We will conclude this unit this week! Important Information: Tiger Trot: This Friday, we will have a Pep Rally to get excited for next week’s Tiger Trot!
