Reading: The second graders have been working hard to say the tricky words in their books, and to determine the meaning of these tricky words. In the coming weeks the students will focus on determining the intention of an author, and thinking about what the author is trying to teach them.
Writing: The students have been working hard observing craft moves by some of their favorite authors, and then trying out those moves in their own writing. In these last weeks of our narrative writing unit students will work on using specific language in their own writing, editing their writing for spelling and punctuation, and offering feedback to peers.
Social Studies: Students are beginning their social studies unit on "Community." They are expanding their knowledge from what they learned in first grade about the Graded community to the further surroundings of Sao Paulo. They will begin exploring how Sao Paulo has rural and urban communities and focus on describing the similarities and differences between the two. Furthermore, students will be attending a field trip to learn about the city and how it impacts them, so please fill out the field trip form and send it back.
