Reading ~ Our reading lessons focus on the playful language that authors use in 2nd grade books. Readers notice the figurative language and need to think about what the author means.
Writing - The poets in room 84 are amazing! They are already noticing that poets use the same types of figurative language that we are studying in reading.
Social Studies - Taking the time to discuss friendships and how to care for people at school will be our social studies topics for this week. We will begin our Wisconsin places presentations on Tuesday next week.Students can start bringing in their pictures and information anytime. I will hold on to them until it is their turn to present. If you need another copy of the directions, please let me know.
Math - We are using the strategies we have learned for solving 2-digit addition and subtraction to solve mixed word problems. Our word problems this week can be solved using many of the different strategies we have learned. Students will be working on reading the problem carefully, thinking about what they know and what they need to know, and deciding which strategy they can use to solve for the unknown.
Have a great week!
Lisa
