Other Learning
We are also beginning to learn a 2-digit subtraction strategy that using decomposing to explain the process of regrouping more clearly before we learn the "traditional" algorithm after break. Stay tuned for a post demonstrating how to solve the way we solve!
In word study, we are finishing our parts of speech study with nouns, adjectives, and now verbs. Next week we will learn adverbs.
In writing, we are wrapping up our Book Reviews (opinion writing) by recording them using photobooth (Anyone remember Reading Rainbow? That's our theme!) Next, we will practice informational writing with our Expert Projects.
In preparation for expert projects, we are studying informational texts this week, keep a close eye on organization. Second graders are expected to identify not only the main idea of an informational text, but the topic or main idea of specific paragraphs within a text. Identifying the topic of each paragraph helps us to further see the connection between each section, and how those details contribute to the whole meaning of the text.
