September 12-16

Hello families,

Here is what is happening in second grade this week.

Writing:
We are continuing with boot camp this week. We will work on fixing our "How to be a successful second grader" stories by editing for punctuation and capital letters before turning out a final copy.

Reading:
We are starting buddy reading this week. Readers will be paired up and learn different strategies for reading and sharing with a partner. We will also practice different comprehension strategies such as retelling a story and deciphering tricky words.

Math:
We are continuing to work on 3 digit numbers this week. We will practice writing numbers in word form, expanded form, and block form. We will also work on adding and subtracting 10 and 100 to our numbers. We will play a game called Place Value Park It and take a short quiz at the end of the week.

Science:
This week we are learning about the scientific method and performing an experiment! We will also start looking at different forms of matter and how we can change one form into another.

Reminders:
Library on Friday. Send books back to school!
