Our topics of study for the month of September will be as follows:
    
Our students are once again working with the Superkids reading program.  This month we will be working with the warm-up unit, Goodbye Summer and begin our first book, The Superkids Hit Second Grade.  Our focus of study this month will be.... 

Reading:  The children will discuss and understand fiction stories and informational texts.  They will identify main topics and details.  They will identify characters and discuss picture-text relationships. 

Phonics:  The children will identify short and long vowels, decode CV and CVC words.  They will also decode words with sh,ch, tch, th, and wh.

Grammar:  The children will understand sentence structure, use capitalization and end marks in sentences.  They will also identify and use pronouns.

Math: The children will apply addition and subtraction concepts.  The following strategies will be used when adding: commutative property, a number line to count on, doubles, and make a ten.  When subtracting they will count back, subtract zero, use doubles, and use addition to subtract.  They will work with fact families and word problems.

Science: The children will be learning about natural resources such as rocks, soil, plants, and water. We will also study how people use natural resources.

Social Studies: The children will be learning about different groups to which we belong starting with school, home, and neighborhood.
 

Religion: The children will learn that God the Father sent His Son, Jesus, to be with us, and about the work of Jesus and the beginning of the Church.
