We're back after a 5 day weekend, and the weather finally seems to be changing. I'll be encouraging the 2nd graders to be cognizant of the weather and to come dressed accordingly.
Extra Credit:
The students had an opportunity for some math and reading extra credit. The extra credit is due by Tuesday, October
22, if they chose to do any of it.
Christian Studies:
This week in Christian Studies we’ll be learning about how the Israelites,
despite having just seen God’s power on Mount Sinai, made a golden idol to
worship. We’ll learn about God’s forgiveness
and we’ll discuss things that we sometimes put before God. We’ll also learn about God’s instructions to
the Israelites for building the tabernacle.
Math:
This week in math we’ll be representing three-digit numbers, we’ll break them
up into hundreds, tens, and ones, and we’ll use the place value to write three-digit
numbers in expanded form. We’ll finish
off the week with a practice test and a test on this concept.
Language Arts:
Our phonics instruction this week will be a review of previous concepts:
three-consonant blends, schwa, and the Bossy R combinations that say /er/: er,
ir, and ur.
In reading, we’ll dive into some poetry and will read and discuss a few different poems. We’ll look at the patterns and structures in the poetry and will learn that poetry doesn’t follow one particular pattern.
Science:
We’ll be finishing off our science unit this week and next. We’ve already made a model with some patterns
of land and water; this week, the students will be creating a legend and then
mapping their model. They’ll create
their map and swap with a partner to have them check their map.
