Week 24

We’re back after a few days off.  I hope everyone got some good rest and spent the time enjoying the snow!

CHAPEL!
2nd grade is leading chapel next Wednesday (February 26), so we’ll be spending lots of time preparing for that!  We hope you can join us!

Christian Studies:
This week we’re jumping into Jesus’ ministry, focusing on His love and compassion for individual people.  First, we’ll discuss Mary and Martha.  We’ll realize that we oftentimes relate to Martha, and we’ll discuss ways we can strive to be more like Mary (WITHOUT shirking all of our chores!) and keep our eyes on Jesus.  We’ll then discuss Zaccheus and talk about Jesus’ love for him.

Math:
This week in math we’ll start our new module on building addition and subtraction fluency.  We’ll start off by rewriting addition and subtraction problems, practicing lining up the tens and the ones and laying the equation out correctly.  Then we’ll relate addition to subtraction, and we’ll use strategies to add 3 two-digit numbers.

Science:
Since we’ve discussed some factors in a habitat that impacts the growth of plants and their reproduction, we’ll start an investigation on water and light and how radish seeds do with light and water, with light but no water, and with water but no light.  We’ll record our findings.

Social Studies:
We’ll start our new unit on Communities and Resources.  We’ll get a preview of what we’ll be learning by predicting whether some phrases are true or false.  We’ll find the answers as we read throughout our magazine.  Then we’ll discuss natural resources and where we get them.  Then we’ll discuss how we use our resources and ways we can take care of our resources.
