Reading:
We worked on fluency and then spent a few days reviewing story elements. We will continue that work next week as we read books about our feeling words: irritable and emmbarassed.
Writing:
The second graders made great progress in writing their book reviews. This will be their last grade for opinion writing. All of the second graders' persuasive writing came home in their mail on Friday. We will revisit informational writing for a few weeks as we study and write about Hudsonville History.
Social Studies:
This week we started our unit on economics. We talked about wants, needs, scarcity, choice, and opportunity cost. We also learned about natural and capital resources and learned how paper, gold, glass, and pencils are made. These are all concepts that come back in future grades, so we are trying to build a basic understanding
The second graders took their Unit 5 test on Tuesday, we went over it, and it came home in folders on Friday. Attached to the test are a grade sheet and the two checkpoints from this unit. We finished the week by finishing the last module in Unit 5 which was all about patterns. Next week we will start Unit 6 which is the geometry unit.
