Fourth Nine Weeks 2012-2013

The third nine weeks has been successfully completed. Report cards are sent home on Wednesday, April 10, 2013.

In language arts, second graders will be learning to write poetry, friendly letters (with penpals), fictional stories, and favorite school memories. Emphasis will still be placed on editing and revising written work and creating a well-developed paragraph.

In math, we will continue giving weekly timed tests to encourage quick recall of basic addition and subtraction facts. By the end of the school year, each student will be expected to have mastered all basic addition and subtraction facts. For extra practice at home, here are two great websites we have found: http://www.aplusmath.com and www.xtramath.com. Students will also be studying graphing, time, and measurement.

Second graders will begin their study of economics, Mexico and Canada in social studies.

In science, we will finish our unit on weather, and investigate/discuss the life cycles of plants, insects, and mammals.
