Welcome to St. Michael's Second Grade Website.
This week we are looking forward to the Windy City Players presenting the play, Robin Hood. We also hope to take a virtual tour of a dairy farm on Thursday and have an in-school field trip for Arton Friday.
The Walkathon was this past week. All donations go directly to the school so it is important to find sponsors and be generous. Second Grade brought in the most last year. Will we do it again?
In Religion, we will begin to learn about he beginnings of the Church in chapter 3. We will later touch on the seven sacraments. We alsocontinue to pray for those people who have experienced the devastation of Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and also Maria and most recently the California wildfires.
In math, we will review the concepts of additin and subtraction. We will learn the key words to help us solve word problems. Mastering the basic addition and subtraction facts are crucial to doing well this year.
In ELA, we are learning how to write a good paragraph. We continue with our theme of animals as pets.
In this theme, we will read different stories about acquiring pets. This week we will continue with the story Henry and Mudge, the First Book. We will learn how the plot moves along by solving a problem, character traits and finding the answers to questions using the text.. Later in the week we will start another story, The Fire Cat.
Our first units in Social Studies and Science work well together. In Social Studies, we are learning about the oceans and continents. In science, we will learn about different landforms, how they are made and also changed. Current events will be an integral part of this as it effects the southern landscape of our country.
The Kids Stuff Coupon Book Drive has ended. Please purchase or return the book if you haven't already.
This is the final week to enter the Boxtop Bank-It Raffle. Prizes will be awarded next week.
