2nd Grade Overview

January 18 - 24


MATH​: We will begin Unit 5. Unit 5 is designed to help students solidify their understanding of place value to 1,000. Using a variety of manipulatives, students will create and count bundles (or groups) in 10s and 100s. They will practice adding and subtracting in multiples of 10 and 100, both on and off the decade. The lessons on money will provide students with opportunities to count by 5 and 10 and consider 25 cents or a quarter as a unit. The final lessons encourage students to observe and describe sequences as they search for patterns and generalizations that will enable them to build and represent succeeding arrangements in those sequences. 


READING​: We will continue our unit on Main Idea. The Skills and Vocabulary Test will be on Wednesday, January 29. The Performance Test will be on Thursday, January 30. Study guides can be found in their folder/binder. 


SPELLING/PHONICS​: We will be working on List 19. The test will be on Friday, January 24. 

List 19: cradle, noodle, handle, middle, turtle, bottle, title, gentle, castle, wrestle, puzzle, drizzle


LANGUAGE/WRITING​: We will be working on identifying verb tenses. Writing will be working on using/identifying the parts of speech to make complete sentences.


SCIENCE: We will continue our unit on Animals.
