Our Newletter



April



Dear Parents and Guardians,

This month is going to be a busy month for us in second grade!  Some important dates to remember are:


Here is an update of what we will be working on in class in each of the subject areas during the month of April:

Reading - Since we began our unit on non-fiction only a couple of weeks ago, we will be continuing through the month of April.  Your child has been reading a variety of non-fiction books with classmates and on their own, and they now have a good idea of how to tell when a book is non-fiction and several of the components they might see.  This month we will continue looking at the different things an author may use in a non-fiction book to help teach their reader about their topic.  

Writing - During this month we are going to begin working on a new unit of study.  We will be immersing ourselves into a study of letter writing.  We will read many different types of letters and learn what we need to have in a proper letter.

Math - We are finishing up our unit on polygons and will have our unit assessment during the first week of April.  We will then move on to a new unit where we will begin looking at different types of graphs.  We will learn how to read them and how to create our very own graphs.

Science - We will continue our exploration of matter.  Your child should now be able to tell you what the three states of matter are and what properties they have.  We are going begin working on discovering how states of matter can change.  For example, water can be a solid, liquid or a gas.  We will be talking about how this happens and why.  

Social Studies - Our focus in social studies this month will be on Native Americans that lived in our area, the Woodlands.  We will be learning about where they lived, how they lived, what they ate, what they did for fun, what tasks each member of a family was responsible for, and many other interesting facts.

Remember, be sure to talk to your child about what they did in school today!  I'm sure they would be delighted to tell you all about our day!


Thank you for your time and feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
