Math: Second grade mathematicians have been working to help Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk! We’ve been measuring length with Unifix cubes, creating measuring tapes, and learning how to add using open number lines!
Word Study: In word study this week we wrapped up Unit 4. Students practiced independently reading, writing, and marking up base words and suffixes (-s, -es, -ing, -er, -est, -ed). We also practiced good sportsmanship with our squad and got competitive playing a partner game where students had to make as many words as possible using a set of basewords and suffixes. The pair with the most real words won!
Writing: This week, our poets continued to work on strategies poets use to write poems. We held a mini-celebration and shared our work with small groups in our classrooms. We are all learning from each other!
Reading: Watch out world…our second graders have learned all six syllable types in the English Language! We wrapped up the first bend of our Power Up! Next Level Word Solving Skills unit which focused on the core idea: Readers solve tricky words by starting at the first vowel and asking, “What do I know about this pattern?” Second graders are working to cover suffixes, find the base word, look at vowels and determine syllable types. Next up.. Syllable division patterns!
Science: We are continuing our work with matter. Students are learning to classify objects by their properties, ask questions, and stay curious about the world!
SEL/Theme: We wrapped up our first unit in Second Step… Skills for Learning. Throughout this unit, students learn to listen, focus attention, use self talk, and be assertive. Second graders began our second unit, which focuses on empathy, this week by working to name feelings, decide whether those feelings are comfortable or uncomfortable, and to think about how faces, bodies, and situations give us clues about feelings.
On Thursday we had a whole school penny celebration! Second graders learned a new card game.. Make Ten Solitaire!
