Weekly Update - May 25th


Happy Friday...A Day Late!!


Next week we will be working on the following topics:
ELA: We will continue our novel study on Charlotte's Web by E.B. White. During this study we will focus on fact/opinion, synonyms & antonyms, adverbs, possessive nouns, classifying/categorizing, characters, summarizing, and vocabulary. We just finished two Roald Dahl books this past week: Esio Trot and The Enormous Crocodile...this week we'll read our last book of his for the year - Danny Champion of the World!
 
Math: Next week we will begin to review for our end of year test. We will focus on arrays, line plots, and graphing. Our end of year test will be the week of June 3rd. 
 
Social Studies: We will continue our unit on biomes. Last week students learned about rainforests, caves, and wetlands. This week students will focus on oceans and the arctic.     

Homework: As a second grade team we have decided to open up the rest of Study Island and have the students work at their own pace. We would like all assignments due by June 3rd. In addition, students should create a puppet for their role in our puppet show. All puppets are due May 29th.
