G2 Curriculum Update: May 11th

Reading: Book clubs are off to a great start! We will be continuing practicing our discussion skills by talking about how problems and solutions can help students understand their characters, as well as reviewing author's craft of choosing endings. 

Writing: The kids did an amazing job on their opinion videos!  This week we will start our poetry writing unit.  The kids will learn how poets see the world in a different way, how to choose a topic that is meaningful to them as poets, and how poets use line breaks to communicate their ideas.

Math: MODULE 8: Time, Shapes and Fractions as Equal Parts of Shapes

In this final module of the year, students extend their understanding of part-whole relationships through the lens of geometry. As students compose and decompose shapes, they begin to develop an understanding of unit fractions (fractions with one in the numerator) as equal parts of a whole.

Grammar/Word Study: This week in word study the second graders will continue to study compound words.  In grammar the focus will be on prepositions.

Science: Describe and classify a variety of objects according to observable physical properties or attributes. Continue to explore the 3 states of matter.
