In June, we will explore the /oo/ sound (spelled u, u_e, ew, ue, ui, and ou) and the /aw/ sound in Week 2. Students will make connections between spelling patterns and words as reflective, risk-taking communicators. The rest of the month will focus on reviewing all phonics sounds learned throughout the year.
Reading
We will be reviewing all the skills we learned throughout the year. We will also be focusing on second grade ready skills in math and reading.
Writing
Next month, students will practice writing strong paragraphs with an opening sentence, supporting details, and a closing. They will also build ATL skills like communication, organization, thinking, and reflection to become more confident and effective writers.
Social Studies
In Social Studies, students will be principled and understand how our actions affect the world. They will learn the different types of pollution, the causes of each type of pollution, what some solutions may be, and why it is important to help prevent pollution.
Math
This month in math, students will focus on developing a deeper understanding of two-digit numbers. They will learn to write and interpret numbers up to 100 as addition sentences that combine tens and ones. Additionally, they will practice identifying 10 more, 10 less, 1 more, and 1 less than a given two-digit number. We will also emphasize place value concepts to support number sense and foundational math skills!
Science
This month in science students will be inquirers by continuing to observe the sky, discuss shadows and learn about temperature. Also we will learn about our new classmates...butterflies! Students will learn about the butterfly life cycle and how to take care of our new friends.
