Week of February 3rd-7th

Curriculum News

  As we continue with our unit of “A Long Journey to Freedom”, we will be taking a look at several stories that will help students better understand the struggles that our country was facing during the Civil War.  Most of these books will be focusing on the conflict between the north and the south and how difficult life would have been if you were a slave back in the 1860’s.  During our Social Studies time we will also be taking a closer look at this time period as we learn a bit about some of the great leaders in our country’s history!

During our Science time we will continue to work a bit more with the water cycle and will then move on to the study of weather.  In Math, we will still be spending our time working on telling time.  This is a skill that will be used throughout their lives and so we will be utilizing this time to help ensure understanding of this very necessary skill!

Students have continued to do very well with their reading logs!  This is a group that loves to share their enthusiasm for reading and it is so wonderful to see!  Keep it up second grade!!!!!
