2nd Grade Overview
August 24-28
MATH: We are working with students on number recognition, number order, and how to use a number line and chart. This week we will be finding the missing addends, flipping equations, and fact families. Our timed fluency math fact focus this week is +0, +1, -0, and -1.
READING: We will start our F&F unit on Sequence of Events. Look for the Sequence of Events Skills and Vocabulary pages in your child’s homework binder/folder. These pages will stay in their homework binders/folders for easy access at home. Begin to have your child study the skills (pattern statement and process questions) and vocabulary words a few times each week. Use the process questions as part of your book discussions at home.
**Please have your child read for ten minutes each night. Include time for your child to read aloud to you.
SPELLING/PHONICS: We will be working on List #1 of our Spelling words. The list will be in their agenda, as well as a list that is in their homework folder. The test will also include two dictated sentences that they will need to write, using correct capitalization and punctuation. Our Spelling test will be on Friday, August 28.
List 1: blend, craft, slug, shark, first, chip, thick, sport, would, very, your, its
SCIENCE: We will start our unit on Dinosaurs and Creation.
LANGUAGE/WRITING: Students will be completing sentence structure, capitalization, and punctuation. They will practice writing sentences through copywork.
****A few of reminders:
-The rooms can be cold, so your child may need a sweater/sweatshirt 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.
-Don’t forget to check your child’s homework nightly, and sign their Agenda.
THANK YOU for reading the overview! Have a great week!
