8/18/2017 0 Comments Successful First Week!Happy Friday 2nd Grade Families!
Our first week has flown by! I have enjoyed getting to know all your kiddos, they are the best group. It will really be a great year. This week we really focused on understanding our classroom rules and expectations. The group is doing so well with this, and are ready to start learning next week! Monday is the Solar Eclipse and we will be spending the day learning all about eclipses! We will watch the live coverage provided by NASA to ensure safety for the children. If you are planning on taking your child out of school early on this day or even keeping them home to witness the eclipse with you, that is fine and will be excused if you provide me with a note. Thank you! Here is a peek at next week! Reading: We will be looking at characters and the role they play in a story! We will discuss the different types of point of view and identify the character's point of views from the book we are starting called Trouble at the Sandbox. Writing: We will take what we are learning about the characters in the story and begin a narrative about the main character's interactions with the other characters. Math: We will begin by reviewing addition and subtraction, specifically within 20. Using manipulative and hands on activities we will solve the different equations. Science: We are looking at living things, specifically plants and how they are alike and different. Using real life examples we will observe and investigate these differences and similarities. Social Studies: We will be discussing what a republic is and talk about what it means to be a citizen. Taking The Pledge of Allegiance we will take words from it such as indivisible and liberty to analyze and discuss what the means. A few reminders - -Please bring a filled water bottle. -I would suggest having your kids bring a Plato approved sweater or jacket, it tends to get a little chilly in our room! -If you are not buying a school lunch please bring a full lunch. Everyone should also bring a snack for our Morning Snack. -Remember your placards for dismissal, we are not able to release your child without them. If you do not have it, please come in and show ID to Ms. Riley so we can release your child to you. -Please remember to bring your V.A.C.A.T.I.O.N.folders every day.
