Reading ~ We are merging our reading and science this week! Students chose a planet to research and small planet groups were formed at the end of last week. Groups have begun reading and recording important information on their planets. We've also been using our Chrome books to research on Epic and Pebblego. Research will continue through the week and students will prepare for presentations the end of this week and the beginning of next week.  

Writing ~ Our informational writing unit has been an enjoyable one. Second grade writers have loved writing informational texts with lots of information and text features. This coming week will be spent fine-tuning, revising different parts of the text, editing, and adding the finishing touches to our published pieces. We will have these published pieces out for family night on Thursday.

Math – Unit 3 begins this week. This unit focuses on length and shapes. Students will use measurement skills to collect and organize data as they display measurements on line plots.  They will analyze measurements given in different units to learn the relationship between the size of a measuring unit and the number of units. During the first week of this unit, we will be learning how to measure with centimeters and how to distinguish different shapes by their features. 

Have a GREAT week!
