Curriculum News
We will be continuing to take a closer look at the many different types of stories that are available to read. So far we have focused mostly on fiction. This upcoming week we will be turning our attention to non-fiction stories and will take a closer look at the best way to read and study these fascinating books. This will also give us the opportunity to focus on some books that explain the changing seasons, as fall quickly approaches and we get to enjoy the beauty of the season! Some of our writing activities will also focus on this fun time of year!
This week in Math we will be working on a variety of other skills that will hopefully continue to develop their retention of both addition and subtraction facts. Please continue to work with your child on the addition facts, as we have recently begun timed tests using the Rocket Math program. The only way to retain these facts is with practice, practice, practice…..you can do this 2nd grade! Our study of the ocean will continue in Science as we discuss the job of oceanographers and marine biologists as well as the different zones found in the ocean. Students are doing fantastic at doing some “digging” to learn a bit more about the many fascinating creatures found in the ocean!
