Writing: We will be starting our first unit in our writing curriculum, Lucy Calkins Writing Units of Study. The first unit is called, "Lessons from the Masters: Improving Narrative Writing". We will start the unit with a writing sample that will help me know more about your child as a writer.
Math: We will start our first module in math this week. We are using the Eureka math series. The first module is called, "Sums and Differences to 100". Much of the first unit (only 8 lessons) will be a review of first grade material. This week we will work on adding and subtracting like units as well as making ten to add within 100.
Social Studies: Our first unit in social studies will focus on building classroom community and building a growth mindset. Both of which will help us to have a successful year in second grade!
