Math:
We have continued focusing on subtraction with regrouping this week! It's a tough concept to learn, but 2K has been working SO hard. Next week, we are continuing in subtraction with regrouping and will have 2 workshop days and then our Chapter 3 Test over subtraction.
Reading + Writing:
We are continuing to focus on nonfiction texts. This week our 2K students partnered up to write nonfiction reports on a planet in our Solar System. They started with researching, then organizing their research, and now we're onto the drafting stage. Next week, we will still be working on perfecting our nonfiction pieces!
Science:
We have continued focusing on the Solar System and the kids have not lacked a piece of excitement. They have been loving learning all about space. We also released our butterflies into the wild today! Thankfully, we only had one chrysalis casualty that didn't make it, so no tears were shed this year. :) Next week, we will be continuing learning about the Solar System.
