We're Learning So Much...It's Scary!
Here's What's Happening in Second Grade!
Our story for this week is Turk and Runt by Lisa Wheeler. I will introduce inferencing to the class and we will use our schema {mental filing cabinet} to read between the lines. We will also read some nonfiction books about turkeys and learn to find important facts when we are reading nonfiction texts. Our grammar skill this week will focus on adjectives and adverbs.
The next couple of weeks during math we will be wrapping up our geometry unit with a study of fractions. If you are interested in having your child practice at home, they can go to Prodigy and review fractions online. I've created assignments within Prodigy that will specifically allow your child to practice fraction skills over the next couple weeks. You can also Google "Fraction Activities for Second Grade." In class, we'll be working on recognizing how many parts it takes to equal one whole, naming equal parts, and identifying examples and non-examples of fractional parts.
