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.
