Week 27

Dear Parents,

        We have started our unit on showing numbers up to 1,200 in different ways. The children dove right in and seemed to enjoy the switch from three digit subtraction! We also worked on a word problem to be shown many different ways. This was put on display at open house.

         In writing we have been focusing on imaginative stories. Some of us went on to write our own folktale. We chose an animal and came up with a creative way to explain why the animal has a certain feature such as: Why does the Octopus have 8 legs.

         In reading we continued learning about legends, and trickster  tales. We listened to these types of folktales, discovered what was unique about each, and created story maps. We also enjoyed presenting our timelines! Thank you for helping your child with this precious keepsake from second grade. They were on display for you to enjoy at open house.

          In social studies we focused on the three kinds of communities. We planned with our group to create our chosen type, either urban, suburban, or rural! They synergized and built together to create a community they could be proud of!

           In science we wrapped up our unit on weather. We finished our documentation of our nine days as meteorologists and took our assessment.

           A big thank you to all who came to our open house! If you could not make it, some of your child's work went home in a keepsake  pocket.
