Trimester One Updates

Hello 2S Families,

I apologize for falling behind in behind our updates! I am so happy to see how many of you have followed our Instagram page, joined ClassDojo, written back in the circle notebooks, I hope you are feeling as connected to our class as I feel connected to all of you! If not, please let me know how I can improve!

Over the past few weeks we have worked on asking questions and making predictions in reading. We began reading conferences where we have set goals and worked on comprehension, accuracy, and fluency. We also learned about text features and read some nonfiction books. During the month of December we will continue to work on comprehending our stories in preparation for the Fountas and Pinnell reading assessments in January.

In math we continued to work on counting combinations of coins,  our math facts, and using helper facts to solve math problems. We have recently started our unit on telling time and place value. We will continue to work on these skills throughout December.

One thing I need to share about 2S is, we love to write! Especially if its an opportunity to write about about whatever we like! We have worked on punctuation, and capitals, adding adjectives to our writing. We will be writing Letter's to Santa this December and will work on Persuasive writing come January.

In science and social students we learned about how seeds disperse, natural resources, and Thanksgiving. We are currently working on understanding the difference between wants and needs. What a great topic to be learning about this Holiday Season!
