Quarter 2 Week 5


Welcome to week 5!

Last week, we had our snow-cone party! Thank you to the PTA for coming and serving us on Friday afternoon. We were BEYOND excited. 

The next half day is schedule for December 7th, 2012. It was originally November 30th on certain calendars, but that was a mistake.  

Second grade interim progress reports will come home Wednesday, Nov. 21st.  Please sign and return them with your child. 

Please remember, if you would still like to see me for conferences, please send me an email @ lchatterton@wcpss.net or call the school and leave me a message. 

Parent Resource Room:

The Parent Resource Room is now open! Attached is a letter from Mrs. Ferguson and the Parent Resource Team.

Nov. 19th - Nov. 21st:

This week, we will cover the following in each subject...and much, much more!

Math
Fluently add and subtract within 100 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between additon and subtraction

Explain why addition and subtraction strategies work, using place value and the properties of operations

Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions (ex: by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.)
Determine whether a group of objects (up to 20) has an odd or even number of members

Language Arts

Use words and phrases acquired through conversations, reading and being read to, and responding to texts, including using adjectives and adverbs to describe

Acknowledge differences in the points of view of characters, including by speaking in different voices for each character when reading dialogue aloud

Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English capitalization, punctuation, and spelling when writing. Generalize learned spelling patterns when writing words

Write narratives in which they recount a well-elaborated event or short sequence of events, include details to describe actions, thoughts and feelings, use temporal words to signal event order, and provide a sense of closure

With guidance and support from adults and peers, focus on a topic and strengthen writing as needed by revising and editing

Research

Recognize that air is a substance that surrounds us takes up space and has mass

Understand patterns of weather and factors that affect weather

Summarize weather conditions using qualitative and quantitative measures to describe: temperature, wind direction, wind speed, precipitation
