Week 6!

Each week, our class conducts text-to-talk. This is where I read aloud one book per week and discuss and make meaning to five vocabulary terms inside that text. Have you noticed any fancy vocabulary from your child yet?

We also discussed literacy goals for the month of September. I am constantly over emphasizing that they are the BOSS of their reading lives. Take a look to see what your child is working on.

I had a twin on Friday! Michigan love!

What are we learning this week?

Math: Fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies. By end of Grade 2, know from memory all sums of two one-digit numbers.

Reading: We are learning how to be in-charge of our own reading. We will learn how to be the "boss" of our own reading through making decisions based on habits, volume and stamina.

Writing: We are adding dialogue to our writing. We are having partners read our stories and ask questions.

Science: We will continue to explore sound and notice how it is transmitted by many materials.
We will discover how sound travels, students observe how a variety of materials transmit sound.

We will be switching classes between 2nd grade teachers in Math. This will help differentiate ability levels to meet the needs of your child. 

Reminders: Field Trip money is due September 14th!

We have a class compliment party this Friday. We are voting on ideas on Monday!
