G2 Curriculum Update: March 23rd, 2020

Dear Second Grade Parents,

Here is what is coming up in our distance learning plan this week:


Reading: Students are going to be learning about characters in series books. F
irst they are going to identify the main character and try to learn about some of the character's personality traits. Next they will discover how the character responds to problems. They will have the opportunity to try these skills with the teacher using the Tommy Tales series on Raz-kids and then each student will practice on their own. They can choose series books from online or books that they have at home. 

Writing: We are beginning our new opinion writing unit this week.  Students will talk and write about their opinions of books they have read.  This week students will explore different aspects of books, such as the characters, favorite parts, pictures, titles, and lessons.


Grammar/Word Study: To go with our character unit in reading this week the students will review adjectives and adverbs.


Math: FOUNDATIONS OF MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION

How can you help at home:
*Practice skip counting by 2s. This will help as students work with odd and even numbers in this module.
*Challenge your child to sort any number of small objects into equal groups.
*Your child can learn to organize a set of objects into equal groups and then into rows and columns, or rectangular arrays. They use math drawings to analyze the relationship between rows and columns (e.g., 3 rows of 4 or 4 columns of 3) and to model the array as the sum of equal addends (e.g., 4 + 4 + 4 = 12).

Social Studies: This week we will begin our new economy unit!  The students will learn the difference between needs and wants.


Portugues: Nessa primeira semana trabalhando online, os alunos irão ler livros na plataforma Elefante Letrado, assistir histórias, gravar um vídeo no Flipgrid e comentar 2 vídeos dos colegas.

PAL: On the first week working online, PAL students will
do some assigned activities in Quizlet, record a video and read a book in Elefante Letrado.
