Second Grade
Math
Module 7- Module 7 presents an opportunity for students to practice addition and subtraction strategies within 100 and problem-solving skills as they learn to work with various types of units within the contexts of length, money, and data. Students represent categorical and measurement data using picture graphs, bar graphs, and line plots.
Module 8- In Module 8, students extend their understanding of part–whole relationships through the lens of geometry. As students compose and decompose shapes, they begin to develop an understanding of unit fractions as equal parts of a whole.
Reading
Unit 7- In this unit, students will read and compare selections about different times in history. We will work on reading skills such as identifying the main topic of a text, describing the connections between a series of events, and using images to contribute to and clarify a text.
Unit 8- In this unit, students will read and compare selections about the causes of Earth changes, such as erosion and natural disasters. We will work on reading skills such as identifying the main topic of a text, analyzing how reasons support specific points in a text, and describing the connections between a series of events.
Writing
We will write diary entries from the point of view of an insect.
Social Studies/Science/Health
Social Studies: Students will examine differences between past and present time by developing timelines and describing the relationship among events; describe people, places, and artifacts of today and long ago by gathering and interpreting information about the past from informational sources and biographies; explain how contributions and events are important to the American political system.
Science: Students explore the phenomena of plant growth, seed dispersal, and pollination. Students begin by setting up an investigation to determine what plants need to grow and survive (sunlight and water). In the next four lessons, students investigate the role of pollinators and the interdependence of plants and animals. The unit ends with students researching the importance of bees in the pollination process and why it is vital to save them.
Health: Recognize the differences between communicable and non-communicable disease and discuss healthy habits and strategies to reduce disease risks
