Second Grade Happenings November 6-10

Hello,
Conferences are right around the corner. I look forward to meeting with you Thursday or Tuesday to share your child's progress so far this year in 2nd grade.

We re-opened our online store through Eagle Graphics if you are interested in ordering any items. It will be open through November 19.

This month New Directions is showing how to BE Thankful!  As a way to bring us together as a school community we are going to have an "Appreciation Station" set up for students and families to use at conferences.  At this station you will be able to write a note to someone you are thankful for in your lives. It can be someone from the school or someone from somewhere else in your lives.  Please look for the station outside the cafeteria by the 4K classroom and stop by to let someone know you are thankful for them!  


What's coming up?

Monday-Packer Wear
Wednesday-Dress like your parents
Thursday-Portfolio ConferencesFriday-Wear Red, White, and Blue (for Veteran's Day)

Reading - Last week we started our Informational Reading unit. We are learning how to pay close attention to the details. Readers of nonfiction notice, learn, and wonder throughout their readings. This is such a fun genre to teach and to read!

Writing - We are carrying much of what we are learning in our nonfiction reading unit into our informational writing. We have been planning our chapters using a table of contents, and working on writing main idea sentences.

Math - We will begin to learn strategies to add two 2-digit numbers this week. We will also begin working with money in the next couple of weeks. When you have some time, please review the coins and their value with your child.

Content: We're wrapping up our study of Wisconsin Geography and will be moving on to our study of the Solar System. We've been learning a lot from students' Wisconsin Geography presentations.
