I'm looking forward to meeting with each of you this week. Conferences are always such a great time to share your child's growth.
Here is a look at what we will be doing this week....
Reading
Our focus during Guided Reading this week will be on non-fiction. The groups will be reading about the habitats of South America and working on drawing conclusions from the text. We will also spend time reviewing the features of non-fiction.
Writing
We will continue with our Poetry Unit. Your child will have the opportunity to write both an Acrostic Poem and a Cinquain Poem. The kids are enjoying the creativity of writing poetry.
Math
This week's focus will be on fractions. The second grade expectation is that the kids are comfortable and can name the fractional parts 1/2, 1/3, 1/4.
Social Studies
We are enjoying our time in South America and will be learning about the country of Brazil this week. The students will enjoy writing a postcard from Brazil and decorating Brazilian Carnival masks.
** Reminder that there is a delayed opening (2 hrs) on Wednesday the 11th, and no school on Thursday the 12th due to Parent Teacher Conferences.
