Week at a Glance

Week of September 28, 2021-October 1, 2021

 

Math: We will use arrays to help us identify equal groups. We will also use arrays for repeated addition, and we will see that arrays can form the base of multiplication problems (which students will focus more on in third grade). Finally, we will spend two days reviewing topics from Unit 3 (number chart patterns, skip counting, even and odd numbers, and arrays).


Science: Science to start the week of October 4th

 

Language Arts: During Writing Workshop we will continue to plan our personal narrative, as we draft a beginning, middle, and end to our stories. We will add in details and we will practice using good word choice.

 

Reading: As we continue with unit 2 of our Superkids curriculum, we will work on encoding and decoding high frequency words, along with -ng and -le words. We will review the differences between nouns (people, places, and things) and verbs (action words). We will also work on our fluency each day in our decodable reader and in our small group reading groups.

 

Social Studies: We have finished Chapter 1 from our My World curriculum. We will spend the early part of the week reviewing the topics from the chapter, and we will take the test on Thursday. Students can use their notes packets (and review sheets) from class to assist on this test. We will also send home a copy of the review sheet with answers in the event that you would like to help your child prepare extra at home.

 

Religion: Next week we will return to our Finding God textbooks as we learn about making good decisions and being guided by the Holy Spirit. We will also explain how we can be shining lights for others.
