Dear Parents,
This week in math we took our district end of year Math CBA test. It covered the second grade TEKS taught this year. We began our unit on graphing. We are learning to read bar graphs and pictographs. We also are learning to tally answers to generated questions to create our own bar graphs.
In writing we are continuing to write our class paper on the Great White Shark. They are really enjoying this project and cannot wait to start their individual papers. At the library this week they chose an animal for their individual research paper.
In reading/social studies we learned all bout Earth Day and worked on several projects. We wrote a promise to the Earth, filled in a small book with blanks and drew illustrations. We also read a Scholastic News about How lollipops are made to go along with our study of producers and consumers.
In science we have been learning all about animal characteristics such as eye shape and placement, the size of ears and limbs, and body coverings. We are realizing how all these characteristics help the animals survive in their habitats. We did hands on stations in which we listened to each other with two different sizes of ears, we looked through four different eyes, felt and observed body coverings and limbs, made animal tracks in sand and paddled like a duck in a tub of water. We had so much fun learning together!
