It was chilly this morning with that cold, biting wind! I’ll be encouraging the kids to bring layers, waterproof jackets, and gloves or hats to bundle up. I’m also encouraging the 2nd graders to start becoming responsible for unpacking their folders. Having them start to take on this responsibility will help them to start keeping track of their materials and bringing back their homework.
Free Dress Day:
2nd grade has a free dress day on Thursday, October 31! Please see page 29 of the parent/teacher
handbook for guidelines for free dress days.
Note: Costumes are not allowed on free dress days.
Christian Studies:
This week in Christian Studies we’ll be learning about how God provides for His
people, even when they don’t obey him and when they’re complaining to Him. We’ll also learn about Israel learning to
trust and obey God as they conquer Jericho and Canaan.
Math:
This week in math we’ll use expanded form to write three-digit numbers. We’ll also write the number names, and then
we’ll write and draw numbers in different ways.
We’ll be using place value to understand and use three-digit numbers.
Language Arts:
This week we’ll be looking at the diphthongs “oi” and “oy”. We learned that the diphthong is spelled “oi”
when it’s at the beginning or middle of a word or syllable, and it’s spelled “oy”
when it’s at the end of a word or syllable.
We’ll also be doing a
close reading of poetry that we read last week, and we’ll be analyzing the format,
rhythm, and rhyme in the poems.
Science:
We finished off our science unit on Monday!
We checked a partner’s map against their model. Then the kids used what they learned to
describe the differences between liquid and solid water. They also showed where ice and snow are found
on Earth.
Social Studies:
We’re starting our social studies unit on Leaders and Government. We’ll talk about citizens and their rights
and responsibilities. We’ll also discuss
what a government is and we’ll discuss its purpose.
