I hope everyone had a great long weekend and had a chance for some good rest and rejuvenation!
Midterm Reports:
Midterm reports for 2nd trimester are coming home this week. Take some time to check it out with your 2nd grader and come up with a plan for the rest of the trimester!
Christian Studies:
This week in Christian Studies we’re continuing to move through the New
Testament. We’ll be looking at the birth
of Jesus, as well as the visit of the wise men.
We’ll discuss God always keeping His promises and how Jesus came for ALL
people!
Math:
This week in math we’ll finish up our module on decomposing numbers. This module has given us some mental math
strategies to help us add and subtract more accurately and quickly. We’ll then begin adding and subtracting with
regrouping (the vocabulary you probably learned growing up is “borrowing” for subtraction
and “carrying the one” for adding).
Language Arts:
We started our phonics concept of Consonant-le endings last week, so we’ll
continue practicing words with those endings.
We’ll learn that these endings have a schwa and the “e” is there because
very syllable needs a vowel.
Social Studies:
This week in Social Studies we’ll continue to learn about North America. We’ll use a landform map to identify the
location of physical features in North America.
We’ll also look at North America from space, and we’ll discuss seasons
and climate in North America.
Science:
As we continue on with our unit about plants, we’ll start off by discussing the
word “habitat” and analyzing the different components of a habitat that might
impact a plant’s growth. We’ll then use
that information to ask questions about the grand spider orchid and why its
population has been dwindling.
