Dear Parents,
Last week we said good-bye to the first trimester and today we say hello to the 2nd trimester. Our 2nd grade students have been BUSY, BUSY, BUSY working on many 2nd Grade Standards.
Math
Second grade students have been busy collecting data, creating picture graphs and bar graphs, and answering questions using the graphs. Students are zooming along with these Measurement and Data Standards. This coming week students will learn about line plots.
Here’s the homework for the week....
Monday

Tuesday

IXL R.3 Which Bar Graph Is Correct?
|
Wednesday
|
IXL R.5 Interpret Line Plots
|
Thursday

IXL R.6 Create Line Plots
|
Language
Students have continued to work on identifying adjectives in text and using adjectives in writing. This past week students participated in an activity called “Adjective Triangles”. They picked an image and listed 4 adjectives to describe the image. The formatting of this writing made a triangle, thus the name “Adjective Triangles”. Second graders will move on to adverbs this week. Being aware of adjectives and adverbs will help students to write with stronger details.
Writing
The 2nd grade writers have just finished up their opinion piece on the best holiday. We had a wide variety of holidays that students gave reasons with explanations to tell their opinion about the best holiday. This writing will be up in the hall for you to enjoy when we conference on Friday or next week.
Projects
Projects have continued as students continue to explore solids, liquids, and gas. Students focused on the properties of liquids this past week.
Looking forward to another wonderful week full of learning! Also looking forward to seeing many of you at conferences on Friday!!
Sincerely,
Anne Bloomfield
and
Shannon Garcia
