Welcome to St. Michael's Second Grade Website.
The humidity is catching up with us but we are doing our best to stay focused on learning.
In Religion, we will continue to pray for those people who have experienced the devastation of Hurricane Harvey and also Hurricane Irma. We will begin this year learning about the Blessed Trinity. We will continue our study of God the Father and His Son, Jesus as we complete chapter 1.
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. This week we will survey our classmates and create a graph to display the results. We are practicing our skills with First in Math.
In ELA, we are reviewing how to write a good sentence and also recognizing the four different types of sentences and the correct punctuation for each. Last week, we read the story, The Cats of Tiffany Street. We will use the story to learn how the pictures enhance the story, make predictions and learn about character traits. We will start gathering information for our favorite animal reports. We are applying our reading skills with Raz Kids.
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.
Thank you for all you have done to get this year off to a good start. All the forms have been completed and returned, supplies have been bought, and the children are eager to learn. Please send in any outstanding fees as soon as possible. Special lunch is this Friday as we celebrate St. Michael's feast day.
Have a great week!
