We are almost half way through the fourth semester and the students in second grade are doing amazing! We are learning so many great things in our classes and we cannot wait to share them with you.
In Religion, the students are busy working on their sacrifices and prayers during this Holy season of Lent. They wrote down some of the sacrifices they are making on a footprint and these footprints are displayed in the hallways throughout the school. Please continue to pray for them as they are remembering you in their prayer each and every day.
In Language Arts, the students have been working on a new program called Readworks. They read stories and answer vocabulary and comprehension questions. This work is done on the computer and they are doing well.
In Math, the students are studying place value, money and 3D shapes. In our number corner, we are identifying 3D shapes and learning how many faces, vertices and edges each shape has. We are also learning how many quarters it takes to make a dollar. We are collecting paper coins and dollars and also learning about banking withdrawals from our base ten bank. In our class lessons, we are learning all about place value up to the 1000 place. We are also starting to add 3 digit number together with some regrouping.
In Science, we ended our unit on Habitats and environmental changes. Almost every student passed their chapter test! We are now learning about Things from long ago. We will being learning about fossils, endangered and extinct animals and what fossils tell us about animals and plants from long ago.
In Social Studies, we have finished learning all about economics. This unit has been a lot of fun and interesting. They have taken their chapter test on economics and did an excellent job. We will be starting our next unit, which will be How can we learn about Native American Cultures? In this chapter we will take a look at Native Americans as being the first people to live in North America and learn about different cultural groups and immigrants from different parts of the world.
Check back next quarter for an update and to see how much more we are learning!
Sincerely,
Ms. Everhart
