December in Second Grade

Our social studies compass rose projects turned out great with a touch of the holiday season. Our bartering exercise will be coming up soon! In science the children are learning about the planets. Second graders have been busy in math with regrouping two-digit numbers. Along with regrouping we are studying checking addition, estimating to see if an answer is reasonable, adding money amounts, and adding three two-digit numbers. Cursive continues to be a popular subject in our schedules. The children are working on their Advent good deeds, learning the Act of Contrition, and preparing for our First Reconciliation in January. St. Nicholas Day is just around the corner! It won't be long until our part in the St. Joseph School Christmas Concert!
