Week at a Glance
August 23rd through 27th
Math: This week, we will begin to use our Math books from Reveal Math. We will learn that math is for everyone. We use math in many different ways. We will discuss numbers in different ways, and explore a variety of tools to solve problems. Please note that the first chapter will not have homework pages to complete.
Science: This year we will alternate between Social Studies and Science units this year. This week we will have Science. We will use our MysteryScience videos along with the questions “Who are scientists?” and “What do they do?” to guide our learning.
Language Arts: Our new Superkids curriculum is grounded in the Science of Reading with a heavy focus on phonics and decoding texts. This first week we will start our “Goodbye Summer” unit, where our spelling patterns will look at CVC and CVCe ("super e") words. Students will use these patterns as they work with long and short vowels. During the Writing Workshop we will review parts of a sentence, types of sentences (declarative, interrogative, and exclamatory), and use adjectives to add details to sentences.
Reading: During Reading time, we will read a variety of short fiction and nonfiction texts. We will also listen to books themed around summer activities, which correlates with the theme from our Superkids readers.
Social Studies: Social Studies will start next week.
Religion: Second grade is a very special year as we prepare for the sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Communion. For our first full week we focus on our relationship with God, how we pray, types of prayer, and how we can grow in our love through God.
Assessments: None
Reminders:
*A hot dog lunch will be provided (so you do not need to pack a lunch).*
Friday, June 4th, is the last day of school. Please send your child with a backpack or reusable grocery bag, as we will most likely send home belongings on this day. Students do not need to bring a snack or a lunch, as it is a 10:00am dismissal.
