We are now using Singapore Math 2B Workbook and Textbook-please make sure these are the books you are sending to school. As a reminder, there is a list of books that students need every day on the back of the binder. Please review that list and ensure your student has everything listed before they come to school. Thank you so much!
Math-Singapore is designed to move from the concrete (manipulatives) to pictoral (textbook) to abstract (workbook). We took a break from mental math while doing multiplication and division last quarter so if your child is struggling, it is totally fine and encouraged to use concrete objects or pictures to help them with their workbook. Please continue to check the workbooks for accuracy on home school days.
Grammar-We learned subject pronouns this week and the students completely impressed me with how much they remembered. Keep up the good work! In an effort to reduce workload, I pick and choose which part of lessons for you to teach at home so please only do what is assigned on the blog (unless you feel like your student needs extra help).
Reading-We started Around the World in 80 Days (modified for 2nd grade) and we are focusing on comprehension. Again, I was very impressed with them! I'm expecting great things for this semester :)
Science-We are finishing up space rocks this week. We'll study before our quiz on Wednesday beforehand, but focusing on the PP page on space rocks will help for studying. The Jupiter flashcards will be sent home in the binder on Monday.
History-This week we are taking a departure from written journal entries as we study the Crusades. Task Cards will be sent home Monday. The students can choose which six to do each home school day (they are multiple choice) and you're welcome to use outside resources or research on line if you can't find the answer from the readings.
