This week in 2nd grade:

 

 

Fundations:  Students will decode words with open syllables, multisyllabic words, write multisyllabic words with open syllables, and focus on trick words: city, family, every, carry, night, and something. Unit 7 Assessment will be Thursday, 1/11.

 

Wit and Wisdom: (Reading and Writing) Students will continue to choose the main topic with the most important points to support it from an excerpt. Students will focus on content vocabulary and using a glossary to define them. We continue to learn about our early American history.

 

Math: Students will begin to use regrouping methods for double digit subtraction. We will review fact families as these are opposite operations and can be used to check our math answers. (For example: 3+2=5, 5-3=2) Base ten blocks can be used to enforce visual learning.

 

Religion: We will continue to work through our Reconciliation book. We will focus on the act of forgiveness. We will read the story of the tax collector. We have our will to choose between good and bad. Students will learn the difference between and venial and mortal sin.

 

Social Studies: We will work on Unit 2 Lesson 5-How do people use our environment? We will learnt he difference between things that are made from nature and things that are made by people/factories. We will learn how people live in different environments.  We will learn how our environments can be used for food, clothing, and shelter.
