We read Mercy Watson Princess in Disguise this week. In this story we discussed the character traits: bold and cautious. We learned the new vocabulary word detect (Mom can detect my homework from under my bed!). We also worked on predicting what would happen in this story based on prior knowledge about Mercy's actions in other stories we have read about her.
In writing this week we discussed and tried out several craft moves, similar to Jane Yolen in the book Owl Moon. We tried out using sound words, comparisons and repeating phrases to help our readers see, hear and feel what we were experiencing in our small moments. Next week we work toward revising our stories to share with other second graders here at Wixom.
In math this week we have been focusing on addition strategies. We have reviewed doubles facts, making ten, helper facts, and the turn around rule.
This week in Social Studies we discussed and wrote about Wants versus Needs. Needs are air, water, food, clothing and shelter. Wants are everything we would like to have, but do not need to survive. We also read the book City Green to discover more about urban communities. We have now completed Unit 1. We reviewed the study guide in order to prepare for the assessment. We will be taking the test for unit one on Friday, October 20th. Our next unit of Social Studies will be on maps.
Science kits have arrived... we are gearing up to begin science next week! We will be studying Air and Weather. Experiments will be conducted in class and we will be keeping notes and writing about what we observe in class.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Mrs. Scheck
