2nd Grade Overview

January 10 - 16

MATH​: We will continue 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. The test will be broken into two parts. Part one will be given on Thursday, January 15, and part two on Friday, January 16.

READING​: We will continue in our F&F unit on Main Idea.

**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 17. List 17’s focus is on the rabbit rule: If there is one middle consonant after a short vowel in a 2 syllable word, the middle consonant is doubled. 

List 17: rabbit, cotton, ladder, muffin, tennis, puppet, lesson, kitten, butter, letter, button, rubber

SOCIAL STUDIES: We will continue with our unit on Animals.

LANGUAGE/WRITING​: We will be continuing our study of verbs by introducing past, present, and future tense endings.

STEM: Engineering Challenges

A few reminders: 

-January AR Goal is 7 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.
