Math: Second grade mathematicians are revisiting place value and three-digit computation.
Word Study: We are continuing to work with the D-syllable (vowel teams), focusing on the spelling of the long o sound /ō/. Second graders worked with when to use spelling different spelling options based on whether or not the sound exists in the beginning, middle, or end of a word or syllable.
Writer’s Workshop: Second grade writers are ready to use their voices to make change! We began our final writing unit of the year: Using Words to Make a Change. In this unit, students will identify problems they see and try to make change by writing persuasively; identifying the problem, stating reasons why it is a problem, identifying solutions, and rallying their readers to make change. In our first bend of lessons, we began by focusing on problems we see in our school or at home and are now moving into problems within our community. Soon we will expand to tackle the problems we see in our world.
Reader’s Workshop: Second grade readers wrapped up their Series Books unit of study by focusing on studying the craft techniques authors use in order to read the text more closely. We are working to consider what the author is trying to show and the tone a scene creates.
Science: Second graders had a blast on Pease Mountain! We participated in a Tree Scavenger Hunt and then hiked the mountain. Thank you so much to all of our Pease Mountain volunteers and supporters!
SEL/Theme: As we approach the end of the school year, it is a time to reflect on our learning as we look to the future. Second graders continue to focus on our second grade mantra, “We are all the same. We are all different. We are all unique.” as well as CCS’ expectations that ‘We take care of ourselves. We take care of others. We take care of this place.”
Second graders have continued to celebrate Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month by listening to different read alouds and learning about, and being inspired by, Hawaiian artist Alisha Kahealani Mahone-Brooks.
