Writing:
We are beginning writing boot camp this week! We are reviewing the steps of the writing process while working on a story about how to be a successful second grader. We will practice brainstorming ideas, writing complete sentences, editing and revising, and finally publishing.
Reading:
We are continuing to launch our reader's workshop by practicing important skills for readers. We will learn what to do when we find a tricky word as well as practice picking out good fit books for us. We will continue to build our silent reading stamina and start practicing reading with a buddy.
Math:
In math this week, we are continuing place value. We are moving onto 3 digit numbers. We will practice writing these numbers using the different forms we have learned, including standard form, block form, expanded form, and word form. We will work on comparing numbers using less than or greater than signs and decide if 3 digit numbers are odd or even.
Science:
We learned all about the brain last week and learned if we are more left brain or right brain dominant. This week we will put that thinking into practice as we dive into thinking like a scientist. We will learn the parts of the scientific method and go over science safety. We will perform our first experiment involving a penny and water!
Reminders: Open House on Thursday at 6:30 in room 108! Hope to see you all there!
We had fun this past Friday taking a fruit personality test with our friends in Ms. Wilder's class! Ask your child what fruit they chose!
