We have a busy week this week! We are starting a bunch of new units. Exciting things ahead!

In math we will be taking our Unit 5 test on Wednesday. That unit was on graphs and telling time. We will then start Unit 6 at the end of the week. Which will focus on place value up to 1000 and starting to add and subtract with 3 digit numbers.

In reading and writing we will be going back to nonfiction.  In reading students will be working in clubs to study different topics and share everything they learn around that topic with each other.  We are going to try some digital text for this unit.  These 2nd graders are 21st Century Learners and we are going to work to help them gain digital literacy skills. 

In writing we students will be exploring different structures of text that are written to teach the audience.  They will explore narrative text, comics, question and answer books, and more.  Then each writer will get to decide what structure they want to write their nonfiction text in.  

Both of these units will be highly motivational for students and a great way to “spice” up reading and writing this time of the year!!  

In researcher’s workshop we will be heading into a new unit, as well.  We will be exploring the states of matter!!
