G2 Curriculum Update: March 30th, 2020

Dear Second Grade Parents,

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

Reading: Students are continuing to learn how to become experts on characters in a series. They are discovering how to compare how the character is the same or different in the series, to gather more information by thinking about what they say, and do and finally predict what will happen in another series book. They also are working how to discuss characters using evidence, as well as responding to their peers by adding more information about the same topic. 

Writing: Students will confer with their teacher about their opinion writing letter this week.  Students will also use transition words to organize their ideas, and use a checklist to set goals for themselves as writers.

Math: Students further develop their understanding as they build arrays.  An array is made of horizontal rows and vertical columns.  Students can then use them to write equations showing repeated addition. 
4 rows of 3:  3+3+3+3=12
Students will determine whether a group of objects (up to 20) has an odd or even number of members, e.g..by pairing objects or counting them by 2's.
Students will write an equation to express an even number as a sum of two equal addends.

Grammar/Word Study: Students will continue to review adverbs and adjectives to help them describe their characters 

Social Studies: This week we will focus on goods and services and how that can relate to needs and wants. 

Portugues: No trabalho de Português desta semana, os alunos do 2nd grade farão a leitura e interpretação de um texto. Além disso, no Elefante Letrado, irão escolher um livro para ler, fazer as atividades propostas e gravar a leitura.  

PAL: Students will Review exercises about verbs and vocabulary and do Independent reading.
