Happy Friday! I hope you all have enjoyed the week despite the roller coaster weather.
Here's what you can expect next week:
Math : 2nd grade math: We will finish Unit 9 on measurement and start Unit 10. Unit 10 will discuss decimal notation and place value. Stand Out Math facts' test will continue in your child's homeroom. Remember the goal for every 2nd grader is to master all addition and subtraction facts by the end of the year. In 3rd grade math, we are still working in Unit 7. There will be a two day review on Monday and Tuesday with our Unit 7 test on Wednesday.
Literacy: Our common focus remains comparing a variety of stories. Looking at what is the same and different between the texts key parts. Main idea and non-fiction text features (captions, diagrams, headings, etc.) will continue to be a focus. Through our Weekly Reader and read alouds, we will hit additional reading strategies for shorter mini lessons that cycle through the year: inferencing, visualization, cause/effect, problem/solution, theme, moral, key events and details, and nonfiction text features to name a few.
FAST: Students will learn about the long /i/ spellings. We will also discuss the rules for the "soft /c/." Our spelling words for the week can be found on list 21.
