Grade One/Two
We made it! Well, on Thursday we have made it to the 100th day of school! I had to explain last week to a few cherubs that the 100th day is not the last day of school. We will keep going and learning! There will be a wonderful celebration of this milestone on Thursday morning; we will have fun counting activities to mark the big day.
In reading/language this week we will read about celebrations, specifically, a ball, a birthday party, and a wedding. We will learn about the order of events in a story. The sounds are all, and silent k as in knit. Seconds also have the mb sound as in comb.
In math we will do a bit more on our geometry unit, and then leave it for a time while we work on money and time. We will not have our Mrs. O. for a few weeks in March, and it looks like the geometry unit is one we can do together, with differentiation, of course, as needed. Firsts will learn about fact families and seconds continue practicing 2 digit addition and subtraction skills.
We have begun a social studies unit on a place of each cherub’s choice. It could be a town, state, country, or continent. We are learning how to research information and use it in our writing. Eventually, each child will write a chapter book about the place of his/her choice. This is a great undertaking, for sure, but there is a plan on how to help it happen. J
In religion we will talk about forgiveness, of course. This week we read about Zacchaeus. Second grade parents, I hope reconciliation is a topic at your house. You may want to talk to your child about what this sacrament means to you and how it helps you grow in relationship to Jesus.
