Welcome to St. Michael's Second Grade Website.
In Religion, we are beginning to prepare for the sacrament of Reconciliation. We will learn about the
Law of Love: Love God, yourself and others. We also will learn the ten commandments. This week we
will learn about free will and sin.
In math, we have shifted our attention to Place Value of Numbers. This week we will continue our study
of three digit numbers. We already reviewed hundreds, tens and ones models, number words, and expanded form. We also learned +10 and _-10, +100 and -100 as well as adding multiples to three digit numbers. This week we will learn about comparison and order of three digit numbers. We will continue to memorize the basic facts which will be a big help as we learn to add and subtract larger numbers. We are practicing our skills with First in Math.
In ELA, we are learning the rules for writing the plural form of nouns. This week we will begin to learn writing letters in cursive writing. We are applying our reading skills with Raz Kids. We will learn about the phonics/spelling patterns of Long O: oa/ow/o_e. We start a new theme in ELA, Men of History. In the coming weeks we will learn about Martin Luther King Jr., George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. We will study their time in history, their influences on America and their character traits. We will learn about writing a non-fictional report. This week we will continue our study of Martin Luther King Jr and his contribution to the Civil Rights Act.
Our ELA and Social Studies will merge together in the coming weeks so we can research the topics properly. Science may be on hold for a bit.
Have a great week!
