Next Week:

Literature

Monday we will be reading Anansi. The rest of the week we will be reading “Lemonade For Sale”, a 2^nd grade favorite! Our reading strategies will consist of comprehension, problem and solution, and critical thinking through writing.

Math

We will be finishing up our base ten unit. I see so much growth as we understand how to interpret and represent numbers in various ways. We have been counting up to 1,000, comparing numbers, and using many different strategies to show our thinking. We will be taking our Module 3 assessment on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Science

Continuing with states of matter as we explore liquids!

Social Studies

We have been enjoying our election unit, started with a constitution reading, we made a timeline, and next week we will start to read about the political parties. We are sharing thoughts that are truthful and respectful as we make our way closer
