Welcome to St. Michael's Second Grade Website.
We hope to return to our usual routine this week..
In Religion, we have completed our preparation for the sacrament of Reconciliation. This week we will also be learning about the Mass. We will learn about scripture stories leading into the celebration of the Mass as we know it. We will turn our attention to the liturgical season of Lent. We will learn about almsgiving (helping the poor), prayer (special intentions) and sacrifice.
In math, we will apply our skills of regrouping in addition and subtraction by solving word problems. Knowing our math facts will become very important in this new unit of math.
In ELA, we are beginning a new theme: Folktales. We will lread different stories from around the world. This week we will read a folktale from China, TWO of EVERYTHING. We have begun cursive writing as well. We will continue to learn about vowel teams with the letter patterns of oi/oy.
This year we are piloting a STREAM program. At our level it means working with a theme and merging ELA, Science, Social Studies and other subjects altogether. We now will focus on landforms. We will discover how they are formed and can change over time. This will lead into a social studies unit on different communities.
