G2 Curriculum Update - November 15th

Here is what is coming up in Grade Two.

Reading: We are continuing to read nonfiction books.  Students are continuing to focus on understanding new vocabulary, as well as noticing and naming the nonfiction text features in their books.

Writing: The students are continuing their nonfiction book writing.  We are focusing on organizing our ideas and research around different topics to create chapters in our books.


Social Studies: Now we are beginning a new unit on Geography. Students are starting to learn about Maps and how to read them. They are focusing on understanding specific vocabulary, such as compass rose and legend. Make sure to share any Maps with us for students to explore. 


Science: Students just started the next science unit: The Changing Earth. In this unit students explore how the surface of the Earth is always changing.  They will investigate the different forces that shape the surface of the Earth.


Math: We are starting MODULE 4! 
Addition and Subtraction Within 200 with Word Problems to 100
In this module, students will work on fluency in addition and subtraction up to 100. They will also build conceptual understanding of adding and subtracting multi-digit numbers to 200, and will apply their skills when solving problems.
How you can help at home: Continue to ask how many ones, tens, and hundreds are in numbers that you and your child come across.  
When possible, encourage your child to explain their mathematical thinking by drawing a diagram or picture that links to their addition and subtraction problems.


  • Add all of the digits of your house number together.
  • Compare prices of various items (gas, toys, etc) to find the lowest amount.
