Homework:
Math: Math Worksheet over time to the nearest minute
Reading: Reading log
Writing: Word Study Homework
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 26th starting at
1:45pm. They will begin researching
an online data base and with various library books starting February 1st. On Friday February 26th, 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.
Writing: Same as above (This is a cross curriculum project)
Social Studies: Students will be learning about famous historical figures and inventors.
