News for the new year:
ELA: Students continue, on a weekly basis, to study various patterns of spelling in words. They also identify word meanings. When the words come home, please assist your child this way, too. In reading, students are learning more about nonfiction. We are looking at biographies. As a class, we have read about Langston Hughs and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Our 4th grade buddies helped the 2nd graders write ideas of how they can be like Martin. More nonfiction writing continues this week.
Math: We are happy to welcome Mr. John Gilboe to our math classroom. He is the new paraprofessional who was previously a teacher and administrator. This week, students will practice measuring in inches while still touching on plane figures, which were covered last week.
Social Studies: Completing our unit on maps will be the goal this week. Students have practiced map skills as a whole class and small groups. This week, I will see what they can do independently.
Thanks for reading!
