2nd Grade Announcements
- Family Lunch Fridays - Our campus is open each Friday for lunch visitors! When you arrive you will sign in at the front office and receive a visitor badge that must be worn at all times. You will need a photo ID (license or passport). You can eat lunch with your child at the designated tables for lunch visitors. You may only eat with your child. No other learners may be invited to eat with you. You may purchase lunch in the cafeteria or bring a lunch with you. Parents will be dismissed from the cafeteria. You will need to go back through the front office to sign out at the end of lunchtime. Please see Ms. Martin's Principal Newsletter for details on who may eat with your child and a form to fill out for non-parent lunch visitors. No lunch visitors on early release days.
- Background Checks - If you still need to fill out a background check please fill one out for yourself or update last year's! Click here to register as a new volunteer or confirm your information from last year. This must be completed every school year for you to volunteer at the school. The district will send you an email when your background check has cleared. Any opportunities for volunteering at the school, including holiday parties, will require a cleared background check. Once completed it lasts for the remainder of the school year. When you create your account, make sure to click on the add new application button. (see picture below)
What are we learning?
Math Workshop - In Math this week, learners will begin our final unit on place value this year! Learners will compose and decompose numbers up to 1,200 in more than one way. Learners will also be able to listen to a number read aloud and decompose that number in more than one way. Additionally, we will continue, for the remainder of the year, reviewing and refreshing our addition and subtraction skills with borrowing and regrouping, both in and out of word problems. This is one of the biggest and trickiest skills we learn in second-grade math - we've got this!
Writing Workshop- In Writing Workshop this week, learners will continue our poetry unit. They will learn about similes and metaphors, write poems, and respond to them. In Grammar, the focus will be on contractions and compound words.
Social Studies - In Social Studies this week, we will continue to learn about maps. We will be taking all of the information that we have learned about maps and the elements to start to plan and create a map of a town within a group.
Science - In Science this week, learners will continue to measure, record, and graph weather. We will be learning about a meteorologist, tools they use, as well as learning a little about severe weather they report out on.
