This week in math we are learning about Frame and Arrow routines. The standard we are focusing on is: 2.NBT.2 (Skip counting by 5, 10 and 100). We will be doing a fun group project with the frame and arrow routine to help us practice skip counting, making sure that we are not only starting from zero. We are continuing to work on fluency with our one digit addition and subtraction facts (2.OA.2).
In science we are continuing our study of earth materials. More specifically we are learning to identify properties of rocks (texture, luster, etc.). I forgot to send a note about bringing in rocks-so that will go home this week instead. Students will be asked to bring in a rock (no bigger than their hand) that they can write a descriptive paragraph about. We will be painting these rocks at the end of our unit, so please no sentimental or super special rocks that they would be sad to lose.
On Thursday, we will be having a Halloween party at 2:15! We will NOT be having students dress in costumes, but our room moms have prepared some fun activities and treats for the kids!
Have a fun and safe week! :)
