This week we will finish up our poetry unit with our Poetry Theater. We would love to have you join us to celebrate our creative side of writing. It will be on Tuesday, April 4th at 8:00 in our classroom. The kids are really excited to have you there as the audience.
Later next week will start our Animal Research projects. This will begin with research from books and online resources. We will set some goals and gather new information and facts. This project will continue for several weeks.
Reading:
We are working on reading non-fiction the next few weeks as we research on our Animal Projects. We will be learning new vocabulary words and looking for the key facts. We will also touch on dictionary skills and non-fiction text features again.
Math:
You have some smart kiddos! We have really enjoyed learning different strategies to multiply and divide numbers. Remember- it is not about memorizing the facts in second grade- our focus is on learning the basic understanding of how it works. Next week we will review with games and assess to check for understanding. We will start our fraction unit next!
Science:
We are really getting into our study of Life Science. We dissected a seed and found a baby plant, cotyledon, and seed coat. It was exciting! We also got to plant our own plant people. The plant people will be coming home soon for your child to continue to care for. We will experiment with light and plants next week along with seed dispersal.
