Second Grade News: December 6, 2012
Things to Note:
·
Holiday Break – December 24, 2012 thru January 1,
2013
·
Drama Performance – December 14 @ 6pm
The second graders have been
working on writing about the water cycle.
This will be the first writing piece of the year that students are
graded using a rubric. Students will
also be making an illustration to accompany their writing. I cannot believe how well written their
pieces are and how clearly they are explaining the water cycle! Nice job second graders! After we complete this water cycle writing we
will move on to a study of personal narratives.
As part of reader’s workshop second
graders have been learning how to complete a story map on what they have
read. They have been learning how to
draw out the important parts of the story.
Story map components include: characters, setting, problem, solution,
beginning, middle, and end.
As part of our
upcoming math curriculum we will be looking closely at analog clocks and
learning how to read the time to the nearest 5 minutes. A great gift for your child this holiday
season might be an analog wrist watch!
Having a watch will help them to practice telling time as we continue in
our math curriculum!
Have a Great Week! – Mrs. Raynor
