Reading & Writing:
In our current unit, students will read folktales in a range of styles from diverse cultures, written by authors from those cultures. Some of our focuses included: making connections, asking and answering questions to demonstrate understanding of key details,recounting stories, and determining their central message, lesson, or moral. Our phonics lessons were about: Vowel Teams /oo/ Syllable Patterns (oo, ui, ew, ue, u, ou, oe, u_e)
During writing, we began the brainstorming process for our upcoming narrative fiction piece. Each student selected the theme of their story and began thinking about possible characters and settings.
Math:
This week we worked on adding 3-digit numbers. We solved problems that involved regrouping, and we learned different ways to show our thinking.
Social Studies:
We had a wonderful time at our second grade Native American Regions Museum! We traveled to the different classrooms to continue our learning and to view the dioramas that our other second grade classes created.
Our next unit is all about geography. We have been learning about the seven continents and the oceans. Each student selected a continent and used PebbleGo to help create a poster to teach about it. Then at the end of the week the students shared their learning with their classmates.
