Math
2K is learning how to use mental math (doing math in our heads using different strategies) to become better mathematicians. We will be on this chapter for another full week at least.
Reading
In Reading we are on Theme 11, which is On the Farm. We are learning about using Author's Purpose while we read. "Why did the author make sure to tell me that?" "Why does the author think _____ this is important?" <-- great questions to ask while your kids read!
Writing
Persuasive pieces are finally graded and headed home! I was blown away overall with how much detail and passion 2K put into their writing. We are now starting Poetry.
Science
We are diving into Animal Classification. Yesterday, your child came home with an Animal Classification Project. Please make sure to take a look at this and go through it with your child. This project is due March 18, and is to be completed at home. I will not be providing time in class to work on it.
