What's Happening in Second Grade for the next two weeks...
In reading we are studying character analysis. Students are describing a character with a trait such as mean or honest and sharing what acts show these traits. As you read each night ask your child to describe the characters and give reasons using events in the story.
Our writing unit is focusing on the process of writing a small moment. Students have selected a small moment in their lives and are using the steps of the writing process to give details and help other visualize the event. Over the next 2 weeks, we will Plan, Draft, Edit, Publish, and Celebrate our writing.
Our 4th and 5th Math units are Data Analysis and Predicting Probability. As Mathematicians, we are collecting and analyzing data. We are constructing bar and pictographs and discussing the information. We are using spinners, dice, and coins to discover the probability of a certain outcome in an experiment.
We have begun our science unit, Magnets. Students are learning about how magnets attract and repel. They are experimenting with magnets and connecting it to real life usage of magnets.
