2nd Grade Overview

November 22 - December 5

MATH​: We will start in Unit 3 of Bridges. Our focus will be on strategies for multi-digit addition and subtraction within the range of 0-100. Students will be using number lines to use “skip jumps” based on multiples of 5 and 10. They will also use the number line as a computational tool to add and subtract 2-digit numbers. They will also be graphing data. 

READING​: We will continue in our F&F unit, Summarization. Students will be finding all of the important parts of a story and put them together on a Story Structure Table with Summary. 

**Please have your child read for ten minutes each night. Include time for your child to practice reading aloud to you as well.

SPELLING/PHONICS​: We will be on List 14 this week. The focus of list 14 is on contractions for will, not, and would. The test will be on Friday, December 5. 

List: I’ll, she’ll, it’ll, can’t, didn’t, couldn’t, don’t, haven’t, I’d, we’d, you’d, he’d

SOCIAL STUDIES: We will focus on Christmas themes that go along with our writing this month 

LANGUAGE/WRITING​: For Language, students will begin identifying adjectives. They will use their knowledge of nouns to then find appropriate descriptive words to add more substance to their writing. In Writing, students will begin learning how to Write a Letter.

A few reminders: 

-December AR Goal is 5 points.

-The rooms can be cold, so your child may need a sweater/sweatshirt (follow the uniform guidelines) to wear in the classroom. 

-Students may also need a water bottle that they can use in the classroom, but also outside for recess.

-Please make sure to label your child’s water bottle and sweaters/sweatshirts. 

THANK YOU for reading the overview! Have a great week!
