Hello everyone,
Here's what is going on second grade this week:
Writing: We are writing our own tall tale this week! We are going to come up with a character, write a story for him or her and then see how we can exaggerate it to make it tall. We will write a rough draft, edit with a partner, and then make a final copy.
Reading: This week, Texas is our focus as we read different fractured fairy tales from our beloved Lone Star State! We will read Cindy Ellen, The Cowboy and the Black-Eyed Pea, 3 Little Javelinas, Little Red Cowboy Hat, and others. We will learn some good 'ole Texas idioms and learn how to speak like a real Texan. Yee Haw!
Math: We're finishing up boot camp with Follow The Enemy. Students will solve problems to get clues to find out where on a hundreds chart the enemy is hiding. After that our missions will be complete and all that will be left is the final test before graduation. Students will take an assessment to see if they have qualified to be a Word Problem Solider!
Social Studies: This week we are kicking off our geography unit with some lessons on neighborhood safety. We are going to walk around the neighborhood and look safety features that have been installed and see if there are any that we would add. Then we're going to have a bike/ scooter/ skateboard/ roller blade rally to get excited about bicycle safety! We're hoping to have a member of Austin PD come talk to us about pedestrian and bicycle safety. It's going to be a great week of experiences!
Reminders:
