This week we will be reviewing and/or starting the following standards.
Math: Addition up to 1,000
MGSE2.NBT.7 Add and subtract within 1000, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method.
Reading/Language Arts:
ELAGSE2RL9: Compare and contrast two or more versions of the same story (e.g., Cinderella stories) by different authors or from different cultures.
ELAGSE2RI9: Compare and contrast the most important points presented by two texts on the same topic.
ELAGSE2L2: Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English capitalization, punctuation, and spelling when writing.
ELAGSE2RF3: Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words.
Students will focus on how to compare and contrast different stories and texts. Students will also practice using apostrophes to form possessive nouns.
Phonics Words Short/Long I, O
1. will (short i CVCC)
2. wish (short i CVCC)
3. child (long i VCC)
4. find (long i VCC)
5. kind (long i VCC)
6. mind (long i VCC)
7. fond (short o CVCC)
8. pond (short o CVCC)

STEM: Students will conclude bridge trials for our sweet GingerBread creatures, and students will complete the Winter Tree part of our Adopt a Plant series from Captain Planet.
Writing:
ELAGSE2W1: Write opinion pieces in which they introduce the topic or book they are writing about, state an opinion, supply reasons that support the opinion, use linking words (e.g., because, and, also) to connect opinion and reasons, and provide a concluding statement or section.
Last week we worked on writing a book review on a book that we had read together as a class, Dear Mrs. LaRue Letters from Obedience School. This week students will begin the process of writing their own review (book of their choice) to share with the class. We continue to practice moving through the writing process with each writing piece we do.
Social Studies:
SS2H1 The student will read about and describe the lives of historical figures in Georgia history. a. Identify the contributions made by these historic figures: James Oglethorpe, Tomochichi, and Mary Musgrove (founding of Georgia); Sequoyah (development of a Cherokee alphabet); Jackie Robinson (sports); Martin Luther King, Jr. (civil rights); Jimmy Carter (leadership and human rights). b. Describe how everyday life of these historical figures is similar to and different from everyday life in the present (food, clothing, homes, transportation, communication, recreation, rights, and freedoms).
We continued to learn about Jackie Robinson this past week, and this week we will compare him with Martin Luther King Jr. Students will compare and contrast these men, and explore how they both fought for civil rights.
