Curriculum
Math
In this unit, the students will be focusing on place value to 1,200. Students will understand that digits have different values based on their placement within a number. They will develop number sense by using concrete and pictorial models to compose and decompose numbers in more than one way. They will also be able to use standard, word, and expanded forms to represent numbers up to 1,200.
Reading and Writing
Handwriting: Students will continue to practice their handwriting skills through different writing activities.
Writing: Students will continue working on their small moment story by looking at their writing, making plans, and setting goals. Students will revise their piece so that they can create a particular effect on the reader.
Reading: This week, students are learning that most stories have the same story elements (characters, setting, problem, key events, and solution). Students will be taking their first CFA (Common Formative Assessment) over External Character Traits and Retelling this week.
phonics
Grammar: Students will write sentences with nouns and verbs.
Phonics: We will be working on decoding multisyllabic words with diphthongs (aw/au, oi/oy, oo, ow, ew, ou) and will read and write words with consonant trigraphs (sch, scr, shr, spl, spr, squ, str, thr).
science/Social Studies
**We will alternate between science and social studies each week**
During the first nine weeks, second graders will be learning about rules and authority figures in the home, the school, and the local community. We will also participate in Freedom Week activities as the nation celebrates Constitution Day, September 17th. This unit will help students as they learn to participate as informed citizens in a Constitutional Republic.
