I can't believe this week is over so quickly. We have started the Fast testing and I hope to finish it next week. We also survived our first 2nd grade reading and spelling tests!
Lucas is on the snack schedule next week.
Next week in...
Math
The class will continue the review of chapter 1 which included and understanding of even and odd numbers, place value ones and tens, different ways to write numbers (expanded form, tens and ones, word form and standard form), problem solving with tens and ones, and counting by 5's, 10's, 100's, and counting backwards. These are all number sense skills and very important to have before beginning larger addition and subtraction problems. We'll take the test on Tuesday. After our test, the class will use base ten blocks to represent 3 digit numbers and discuss place value with larger numbers.
Reading-
Our next selection is titled "My Family." The class will compare and contrast families, use a glossary, understand a complete sentence, and become familiar with closed syllables.
Science and Social Studies-
During science they will continue to observe our caterpillars and flowers and understand what their needs are. During social studies we'll look at the different geographic regions and features on a map of the US. Please let me know if you have any questions. Have a great weekend!
