Quarter 1, Week 3

We need...

  • Empty cans (we are making drums)
  • A parent volunteer to make 2nd grade copies for an hour a week 
  • Box of Cheese-its or Goldfish 

Agendas:

Our Agendas have arrived and will be added into our "Take Home" binders. Each day, your child will evaluate his/her effort and give him/herself a numeric level (1-4) for each subject (Math, Reading, Writing, & Research.)

Please note that the Effort Level is what your child perceives as how much effort he or she has given and is not indicative of actual mastery of the subject. 

Reading Logs:

It's very important that your child spends at least 15 minutes a day reading independently or being read to. Record your child's time on the Reading Log located in the "Take Home" binder. The Logs are checked weekly (the days vary)

Fall Pictures:

We take our Fall pictures this Tuesday, August 13th.

Open House:

Open House is this Thursday, August 15th starting at 6:00 p.m. There will be a presentation to explain our daily schedule, homework, grading standards, and other school & classroom particulars.

August 12th- August 16th:

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

Math

  • Understand that the three digits of a three-digit number represent amounts of hundreds, tens, and ones (ex: 706 equals 7 hundreds, 0 tens, and 6 ones)
  • Count within 200; skip-count by 5s and 10s
  • Read and write numbers using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form
  • Compare two 3-digit numbers based on meanings of the hundreds, tens, and ones using >, =, < symbols to record the results of comparisons
  •  

Language Arts

  • Ask and answer, such questions as who, what, where, when, why, and how to demonstrate understanding of key details in a text
  • Participate in collaborative conversations with diverse partners about grade 2 topics and texts with peers & adults in small & large groups
  • Follow agreed-upon rules for discussion (ex: gaining the floor in respectful ways, listening to others with care, speaking one at a time about the topics & texts under discussion)
  • Write narratives in which a well-elaborated event or short sequence of events is recounted and includes details to describe actions, thoughts, and feelings; use temporal words to signal event order; and provide a sense of closure

Research

  • Understand the relationship between sound and vibrating objects
  • Illustrate how sound is produced by vibrating objects and columns of air
  • Summarize the relationship between sound and objects of the body that vibrate - eardrums and vocal cords
  •
