This week will be our first full week back this year so far. We have already had a couple of non-school days due to the low temperature outside. I'm excited to get back into our normal routine of things. We will now be going to school on President's Day to make up for one of our snow days.
This week we do have one early out on Wednesday. We will be getting out at noon. However, if you are looking for something to do on that same day after school, it will also be Club Fun Day from 12-5 pm.
This week's learning targets;
in Reading- The Paperboy by Dav Pilkey to work on visualizing the author's words, vocabulary routine, fade, expert, and flap, -ed endings and their different sounds.
in Writing- "Let's Get a Pup," said Kate by Bob Graham Sheila Rae the Brave by Kevin Henkes to work on how to add more details and look at how authors use them to write longer pieces of writing, also working on commas in a series, and giving effective feedback.
in Math- rewriting 2 digit subtraction problems, using addition to check subtraction through buddy check, and problem-solving with 2 step word problems.
in Science- Rocks: Hard, Soft, Smooth, and Rough by Natalie Rosinsky, using lenses to look at rocks, creating a pet rock, and erosion.

Junior Achievement Week
Every year second grade is involved in a program that is put on by Junior Achievement. Our program is centered around our community and economics. Each of our classes has a volunteer come into our classroom and teaches a lesson about these topics. The students learn so much through this program and we can't wait for it to happen this week. Ms. Prescher's class volunteer is Robin Kelly and we start our program today! So ask your child questions about it!
This week's learning target skills are as follows;
in Reading, we will be reading a story called Pop A Book About Bubbles. We will be using this story to help us with visualization and telling more to a story through details. Our vocabulary words we will be working with are shimmer, vanish, expand, and stream. We will also be reviewing antonyms and synonyms. We will also be working hard with words with the ing endings.
in Writing, we will read I WIll Never Not Ever Eat Tomatoes. We will be looking at how this author could have written one sentence and we would have known things she didn't like. However, she created a story by adding details and telling more so we as readers can picture better. We will learn questions to ask ourselves in order to help us add more detail to our own writing.
in MAth, we will start working on the steps for double-digit subtraction. We will work on regrouping a 10 as ones and practicing subtracting 2 digit numbers.

Welcome Back 2018!
So here we are halfway through our year! Two quarters down as second graders and two more to go. We are busy, busy, busy this week even though it's only a three day work week. We will be reviewing a lot of our rules and routines so we don't get caught in the slump of the end of the year.
In Reading and Writing, we will be using this time to review our classroom procedures, renewing our knowledge of our 3 rules; be safe, be responsible, and be respectful. We will be reviewing our Daily 5 procedures. and using this time to review bus PBS procedures as well as cafeteria procedures.
In Math, we will use one day as a review from adding two-digit addition since we last saw it a couple weeks ago in 2017. We will then go into our next unit of subtracting 2 digit numbers by reviewing fact families.
