2nd Grade News
Religion
The disciple power word this week was hospitality. They can show hospitality at school,
church, and at home. It’s helping and showing others respect. We discussed that when people
greet them into the church, that’s a sign of hospitality. This is the same that goes when they
welcome visitors into their home.
We also learned about creation and when God created the world, sky, moon, stars,
animals, Adam, and Eve. They created a flip chart with sentences and pictures of what God
created on the different days.
Math
We finished up subtraction this week. The biggest topic they learned about were fact
families and how three numbers can be written into four different math sentences. They got the
hang of it pretty quick.
They also have been practicing their math facts a lot this week and using the xtramath
website. I heard that practically everyone is doing it at home and that’s awesome! It’s a great
extra practice!
Reading
They read on their own and searched for nouns!
Writing
This week we started learning about descriptive paragraphs. We started the prewriting
stage. They had to choose someone they wanted to write a descriptive paragraph about. I am
modeling it first before they write their own.
Grammar
We started learning about nouns. They brainstormed on large sheets of paper different
examples for place nouns, people nouns, and thing nouns. We then went into more detail and
started learning about common and proper nouns. Nouns are everywhere!
Science/ Social Studies
We finished three chapters for science so we are now moving onto a couple chapters for
social studies. The first chapter is about communities and the three different types of
communities, urban, suburban, and rural. We will be comparing these three types of
communities tomorrow.
Have a great weekend!
