Dear families,
This week in Second Grade we read the book My Brother Dan's Delicious. This story is a persuasive story in which the main character, Joey, tries to trick an imaginary monster into eating his brother instead of him!
The students read this story and looked for character traits. We learned the vocabulary word: succulent. We also made connections to the book about a time we were afraid.
In writing, we have been working hard on our letters about a favorite book and giving books our own made up awards for being the best book! We are continuing to work on stating an opinion, giving evidence, retelling part but not all the story and putting quotations from the book into the letter.
In word study this week we practiced writing compound words. We will spend more time next week on Synonyms and Antonyms.
In math, we have completed Unit 6. We have been working on using strategies to solve a number story with two digits and two steps. We have a test on Monday for Unit 6. The study guide went home on Thursday and is due Monday, March 19. A family letter for Unit 7 will come home next week.
In social studies we worked on producers and consumers. We read the book From Cows to Ice Cream. We sorted ways people are producers and consumers.
On Wednesday, we had a guest speaker, Mr. Thorsell, come to speak to the second graders! He explained and showed how he takes drawings and makes them into 3-D objects such as a cup holder for a car. He shared how engineers work and gave a great presentation! Thank you, Mr. Thorsell for sharing your skills and time with us!
Have a great weekend,
Mrs. Scheck
