Welcome to St. Michael's Second Grade Website.
We have been practicing many drills these opening days of school to keep us safe but still doing our best to get learning in.
In Religion, we will continue to pray for those people who have experienced the devastation of Hurricane Dorian. We will begin this year learning about the Blessed Trinity. Last week we learned about the gifts of God the Father, His master design of the habitats of the earth. This week we will focus on His Son, Jesus, who is both human and divine.
In math, we have begun studying tally marks and graphs. We are learning how to collect data and then place it correctly on a graph. We then use the information gathered to solve problems.
In ELA, we are reviewing how to write a good sentence and also answering questions in complete sentences. In Phonics we are visiting Long A patterns in words.
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 are beginning with animals so we are learning about wants and needs and animal habitats. We will be reading about different animals as pets. We will be writing and reporting on our favorite animals.
Thank you for all you have done to get this year off to a good start. Most of the forms have been completed and returned, supplies have been bought, and the children are eager to learn.
