We're finishing up a two-week problem solving unit before we jump into our multiplication unit. Students are spending the next week analyzing word problems which are very tricky for second grade.
READING
We are going to be working on Nonfiction text features over the next 2 weeks! This is a great skill to practice at home when reading nonfiction texts, magazines, newspapers, articles, posters, and more. See if you can help your child spot photographs, captions, headings, subheadings, bolded words, diagrams, and more.
WRITING
We're working on our opinion and persuasive unit! Students chose something to write a review about, so this week we are choosing topics and planning/organizing our writing.
NEXT + THE FOLLOWING WEEK:
Phonics Focus: vowel team --> ai & ay
Sight Words: show, six
Grammar Focus: Adverbs
Comprehension Strategy: Nonfiction Text Features
