What are we learning?

Math Workshop - In Math this week, learners will represent numbers up to 1,200 using standard, expanded, and word forms. Learners will also locate the position of a given number on an open number line and name a whole number that corresponds to a specific point on a number line. They will describe how they decided where to place a given whole number on an open number line. 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!

Reading Workshop - In Reading Workshop this week, learners will use the mentor texts Snow Day and Brave Irene to explore how to create a summary using the pattern "somebody wanted but so then". They will also be comparing and contrasting the two texts. Please don't forget that we have Library Day each Thursday.

Writing Workshop- In Writing Workshop this week, learners will continue in our poetry unit. They will take a look at how metaphors and hyperbole are used in poetry and will write cinquain, haiku, and limerick poems. In Grammar, learners will be introduced to prepositions.

Science - In Science this week, learners will continue to dig into the weather! Learners will utilize weather data and seasonal information to make choices.
