We had a very busy week this week, continuing to work on our opinion writing and also starting a new author study of Helen Lester and Tacky The Penguin. During math, the 2nd Graders worked hard to decipher and figure out word problems which included finding the result and those missing a part for the number sentence. The children persevered and seemed to enjoy the challenge of these real life situations.
During science, we investigated liquids and learned how liquids take on the shape of the container in which they are in. We also learned many words, such as translucent and viscous, to describe liquids. We look forward to continuing our investigations next week!
Questions to Ask your 2nd Grader:
* What are some properties of liquids? Can you define translucent? Is a window shade translucent or transparent?
* . What are some words in a word problem that you let you know that you are looking for the sum? What are some words that tell you that you are subtraction?
* What are your thoughts about being in the Spelling Bee?
*How does a graphic organizer help with our writing?
* . Do you prefer reading fiction or non fiction books? Why?
