2nd Grade News for November





2nd Grade News

Reading and Language Arts


Our second theme in our new reading series is Community Heroes. During this theme, we will be working on long vowel sounds and fluency.  We will also spend several weeks reviewing two writing skills:  writing a friendly letter and procedural directions.  Ask your students about the parts of the story as they read independently to reinforce those skills.  


Math


We have completed 4 Topics in Math and have begun Topic 5 on Money.  Any opportunity you get to have students count out or count back change please practice this important life skill at home!  Also, continue to practice those basic math facts at home!  The website at the bottom of this page is a great resource for worksheets and flashcards. 
  


Science

2nd graders have begun a unit on Earth’s Materials:  rocks, soil, matter, solids, liquids and gases.  They will use the Scientific Process to complete a lab on different types of soil.
