We have finished up our fables and they turned out great! This week we are focusing on persuasive writing. We will recognize persuasive language that authors use to persuade the reader. We will also discuss audience and how we construct our writing accordingly. We will focus on persuasive writing for the next few weeks and the unit will end with persuading the City of Austin Transportation Department to make our neighborhood safer for bikers and walkers. I can't wait to see what solutions your kiddos come up with!
Reading:
Our book club is coming to an end this week. We will begin a reader's theater and enjoy performing that for you soon! Reader's Theater is a great way to build on our fluency, voice, and pronunciation.
Math:
We will continue working on telling time. In second grade students are expected to tell time to the minute on an analog clock and digital clock. The analog clock is challenging to read so please practice at home using one! This is also a great time to get your kiddos an alarm clock so they can start getting up on their own in the morning and recognizing the concept of AM and PM.
Social Studies:
Our safety solution groups have been divided up into regions. The United Safety Of Caraway is the chosen name of our safety county. Each region will become a map including landforms, water features, laws, roads, and a key.
