Here is what we are working on in 2nd grade:
Writing: This week, students will apply learning to write opinion/persuasive pieces about favorite books they have read. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Reading: Students will continue to work with the points of view of different characters in stories, as well as shades of meaning among closely related verbs and adverbs. Spelling words for the week include silent letter combinations: wreck, wrap, debt, doubt, lamb, dumb, thumb, knew, knife, knot, write, knee, half, knock, gnat. --------------------------------------------------------------- Science Inquiry: Students will continue to explore the central idea of, “Positions on Earth determine observable sky patterns.” In addition to using text, videos, and other classroom resources, discovery will occur during hands-on activities. Students will have opportunities to predict, observe, conclude, and formulate further wonderings! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Math: Students will continue to explore money and the relationships between the values of a penny, nickel, dime, quarter, and dollar bill. Students will count coins and understand the connection to skip-counting by 1’s, 5’s and 10’s. Students will use strategies to solve word problems with money.
