Curriculum News & Information
As we continue to take a look at the four seasons during our Literacy Block time, we will begin our exploration of poetry. We will be looking at poems that have to do with the changing seasons. Students will also better understand the basic components of poems as we break them apart to better understand how they are written. Second grade is doing quite well with adding two-digit numbers, so we will be moving on to 2-digit subtraction which is always a bit more challenging. I am confident that this group will continue to do well with their math facts but PLEASE remember to work on their basic addition and subtraction facts at home too!
As our C.A.T.C.H. program continues, we will be taking a closer look at reading food/nutrition labels which will hopefully lead to better understanding of how to choose healthier food and snacks. During our Science time we will be taking a look at the different layers or zones of the ocean. This will allow students to see where the different ocean animals are found throughout this vast habitat. Student ocean animal posters are due on Thursday, October 6th so that we can start to present to the class some of the information that they have learned through their research. Remember, students are also to write 3 sentences about their ocean animals on their posters, which will be on display so that everyone can learn a bit more about this unique animal.
