We are continuing to grow our knowledge through reading and writing nonfiction.  

Reading - This week students will be learning ways to compare and contrast their reading across different texts on the same topic.  

Writing - Editing, revising, and setting goals are the big topics for our writing lessons this week. Rereading our own writing to find places we can make our writing stronger is not always easy for second grade writers. Our lessons will break up this process and show students that all writers need to practice this skill. 

Math - We will be working on identifying each coin and knowing the values of pennies, nickels, dimes, and dollars this week. We will also work on recording the value of 114 cents as $1.14. Lessons will also involve counting mixed coins such as 3 dimes, 2 nickels and 3 pennies. This is a skill you can work on at home as well. 

Science - Orbit, rotation, and revolution are three key vocabulary words we will focus on this week. We will study what these words mean and how they relate to our solar system.

Word Work - Our next high frequency test will be next Tuesday, November 22nd.
