Posts: ​Weekly What’s Up: March 18-22, 2019

I think it’s
safe to say that spring in finally in the air. 
I hope everyone was able to get out and enjoy the sunshine this weekend.


 

Please
remember to send an extra pair of socks and mitts with your child as I foresee
a lot of soggy recesses in the future. 
Students are also welcome to leave a change of clothes in the classroom.

 

Happy
Birthday to Jayden on Tuesday!

 

Literacy:  Please continue to listen to your child read/read
to them each night.  When you are reading
with your child try stopping throughout the book to ask them questions about
what is happening, how they think the characters are feeling and if there are
words that they don’t understand.  We are
focusing on making personal connections to the story during our read alouds.  Does the story remind of something that has
happened to you?  Do the characters
remind you of anyone you know? 

 

We
have made it through all of the No Excuses spelling words for grade 2!  This week I will be assessing students for
the Words Their Way program.    We
will continue learning about contractions. 
While you are reading you can have your child look for contractions and
ask them what words were put together to make that contraction. 

 

In
writing we are working on adding details to our writing using adjectives.  We want to paint a picture in the reader’s
head.  We are also working on editing our
writing pieces.  They are loving writing
‘stretch sentences’.  I give them a
simple sentence and they write their own detailed version.  When we share with the class we can see how
different people can interpret the same thing in different ways.     

 

Math:
 This week our
numbers will be 108-111.  You can ask
your child to show you the number as tens and ones, get them to skip count to
that number, make an addition or subtraction equation with that number as the
answer, etc. 

 

We are continuing to work on representing numbers to
100 in several different ways.  Please
practice skip counting by 2s, 5s and 10s. Students are continuing to work on
identifying coins by their name and value. 
Some students are beginning to work on adding two digit numbers while
others are continuing to work on building their mental math strength with sums
to 20.  We will continue working on our
measurement unit.  What can we use to
measure how long/tall something is?  A
shoe?  A paper clip?
