I SCREAM YOU SCREAM WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM!
The Magical Minds mixed sweets and science, demonstrating molecular movement from a liquid to a solid in the form of ice cream making, yum!
Zoo Keepers, Mad Scientists and Multiplication Stars... just a few of the hats we will be wearing this week in 2nd grade.
Inquiry
Matter and Energy:
Glow, fizz and heat are a few hints to this week’s hands on experiments as we explore chemical reactions, investigating what happens when you combine two substances together.
Math
Multiplication:
Are you ready to be a Multiplication Star? Earn your stars by memorizing your multiplication facts. This week we have our first Times Table Test and the Magical Minds will have a chance to earn a star for every times table they can master. Meanwhile we continue to build our conceptual foundation for multiplication, exploring both the array and the area model.
Reading
Nonfiction:
Many nonfiction books have glossaries; we will revisit the glossary and collect great words for our animal research.
Writing
Nonfiction:
Dr Goodgrace has chosen us to help her develop a zoo. Now that our animal facts, info and notes have been gathered it is time to use a graphic organizer to prepare us for paragraph writing.
