Welcome to St. Michael's Second Grade Website.
We are all excited to be back at SMA!
In religion the children will be learning about the early Church and the sacraments.
In Math we have been reviewing the basic facts of addition. This week we will focus on the facts of subtraction. Our math textbooks finally arrived so we will be reviewing our facts a little longer.
ELA is a combination of Reading, Writing, Grammar, Spelling, and Phonics. We are wrapping up the story, The Fire Cat. We are working on recalling details and finding answers using the text, making predictions and character traits.. In Writing and Grammar we are reviewing what makes a complete sentence. We are recognizing the four types of sentences and writing them correctly. We also will review special bnouns starting with the holidays. In Phonics we will focus on the vowel teams that make the Long O sound. This skill will help us learn our third spelling list to be introduced next week.
Science and Social Studies combine at different times of the year. We start with learning about wants and needs in social studies and then how animal needs are met in different habitats (science). We are learning about different landforms and bodies of water and how they effect lifestyles of animals and people.
With the academics we are learning how to keep ourselves safe. We did some demonstrations on how germs travel. We are practicing hand hygiene and social distancing.
Have a great week!
