They should be using the UPS strategies that we are going over in class.  In addition to numeracy we will begin to look at addition of two digit numbers with regrouping. This will be towards the end of the week and students will get to work with manipulatives  to see the changes being made within the addition sentences.

Week of Feb 8th- 12th

Homework:

Math: Math Worksheet over time to the nearest minute

Reading: Reading log

This week we are learning:

Math: We will continue our unit over time. Students will be able to read and write time to the nearest one minute increment using analog and digital clocks and distinguish between a.m. and p.m. This week we will be focusing closely on telling time to the nearest minute. Students will also have a great deal of practice telling time to the nearest half hour, as well as, read clocks to the nearest 5 minutes. Students will have a great deal of hands on time with clocks this week and homework to the nearest minute. 

Science: We will continue our unit on force.  Students will have many hands on labs where they will get to trace the changes in position of an object over time such as a cup rolling on the floor and a car rolling down a ramp. Furthermore, they will be comparing patterns of movement of objects such as sliding and rolling and spinning. Friday they will have a short quiz over force and motion.

Reading: Over the next few weeks second grade will begin a major project over a historical figure. Your child will be responsible for picking one historical figure to research and present for our “Living Museum” in the Golbow library on Friday, February 26^th starting at 1:45pm.  They will begin researching an online data base and with various library books starting February 1st.  On Friday February 26^th, they will present their historical figures in the “Living Museum” so they will need to bring props and an outfit representing their figure. (For example: A student representing Walt Disney could wear a suit and bring drawings of cartoons.) Parents will be allowed to visit and press their “buttons” to hear students speak about their historical figure. Students will do all required research as school.
