Last Full Week of April

This year has felt like it has flown by way too fast.  In second grade, we have been doing so many things in class it's hard to publish them all. Last week in our Math Measurement introduction we learned about why it was so important to all use the same tool to measure with or we would get different results.  We even had King Hirschi come in and measure bed the kids had previously made with their own measurements.  We also learned about what they used in Rome and Eygpt as tools of measurement with their bodies.

This week we are staying just as busy!!!

In Reading: we will be continuing our Non-Fiction reading units.  We will read about Butterflies and question and write down facts we found were interesting or important. Our new vocabulary words this week are fragile, sip, picky, and attract.  We will also be working with the prefixes un and re.

In Writing: We will continue to look at Non Fiction text features.  We will look at how some authors use illustrations while others use diagrams. We will add this into picking out which Polar writing they want to use in their final book.

In Math: We will continue our Measurement Unit with measuring in inches, feet, and yards.  We will discuss using the correct tool for different objects.  We will then plot our results on Line Graphs.

In Science: We will finish our Force and Gravity unit. We will go into different types of force used to move objects.
