Curriculum Updates:

Reading ~ Our reading lessons focus on the playful language that authors use in 2nd grade books. Readers notice the figurative language and need to think about what the author means. 

Writing - The poets in room 85 are amazing! They are already noticing that poets use the same types of figurative language that we are studying in reading. 

Social Studies - We continue to learn about Kaukauna's history. Students have been excited to learn so many new and interesting facts!


Math - We are using the strategies we have learned for solving 2-digit addition and subtraction to solve mixed word problems. Our word problems this week can be solved using many of the different strategies we have learned. Students will be working on reading the problem carefully, thinking about what they know and what they need to know, and deciding which strategy they can use to solve for the unknown.
