Your children have been very hard at work in 2AA. We have been learning so much each day about our world, each other and God. I am blessed to be working with such energetic and bright students. I have been finding ways to challenge them individually to ensure they are working to their fullest potential!
Here’s a look at what we will be learning this week!
Math– We will be completing Module 1 this week by adding within 100 using properties of addition to make a ten and decomposing to subtract a ten when subtracting within 100. Then we will apply these strategies to one-step word problems. We will have a test on Module 1 next Tuesday, October 1st.
Reading- We will be reading the story Luka’s Quilt from our reading textbook. Luka has a grandmother from Hawaii who shares about her culture. We will be talking about the Hawaiian culture and writing about traditions we have in our own cultures.
Science- We will be reviewing everything from Chapter 1 about plants. The students will be creating their own vocabulary flash cards.
Social Studies- We will begin Unit 2 on Geography. The students will learn how to locate items on a map and in their neighborhood by using location words.
Religion- We will be reading the stories of “Joseph” and “Moses Leads his People.” We will be discussing how good things can happen during hard times and how God answers our questions.
