2nd Grade Overview

December 6 - 12

MATH​: We will continue in Unit 3 of Bridges. Our focus will be on strategies for multi-digit addition and subtraction within the range of 0-100. Students will be using number lines to use “skip jumps” based on multiples of 5 and 10. They will also use the number line as a computational tool to add and subtract 2-digit numbers. They will also be graphing data. 

READING​: We will continue in our F&F unit, Summarization. Students will be finding all of the important parts of a story and putting them together on a Story Structure Table with Summary. 

**Please have your child read for ten minutes each night. Include time for your child to practice reading aloud to you as well.

SPELLING/PHONICS​: We will be on List 15 this week. The focus of list 15 is on contractions for have - I’ve, they’ve, you’ve, we’ve, I’d, you’d, she’d, we’d, who’s, he’s, it’s, she’s

SOCIAL STUDIES: We will focus on Christmas themes that go along with our writing this month. 

LANGUAGE/WRITING​: For Language, students will begin identifying verbs. They will use their knowledge of verbs to add more substance to their writing. In Writing, students will begin learning how to Write a Friendly Letter.

A few reminders: 

-December AR Goal is 5 points.

-The rooms can be cold, so your child may need a sweater/sweatshirt (follow the uniform guidelines) to wear in the classroom. 

-Students may also need a water bottle that they can use in the classroom, but also outside for recess.

-Please make sure to label your child’s water bottle and sweaters/sweatshirts.
