Weekly Update 11/16


Happy Monday!  Here is a look at the week ahead in 2nd Grade…

I have completed all of the individual reading assessments, so I look forward to getting back to our regular reading groups this week.  I have changed up the groups a bit in an effort to best meet the needs of all the children.

We started a new science unit last week, Properties of Matter.  The students were introduced to what matter is and we discussed the 3 states of matter- solids, liquids, and gases.  Ask your child about the experiment we did to prove that matter can change from one state to another!

This week we will finish up unit 3 in math with some more subtraction work.  We will also explore a few new games and activities to practice addition facts, counting coins, and the concept of area.  We will be doing the unit 3 check-in this week as well.

For writing we will take a short break from personal narrative stories to do some fun Thanksgiving-themed writing.  We look forward to displaying this work for you to see at conferences.

One last note…
I hope you received your conference slips back with your confirmed conference time.  If you haven't seen this confirmation come home with your child, please let me know.   I look forward to meeting with you all very soon!
