2.5 The student will
a) count forward by twos, fives, and tens to 100, starting at various multiples of 2, 5, or 10, using mental math, paper and pencil, hundred chart, calculators, and/or concrete objects.

2.5b) count backward by tens from 100;
c) group objects by threes and fours; and
d) recognize even and odd numbers, using objects

The student can skip count by twos, fives, and tens to 100. The student can skip count by tens backwards from 100 (100, 90, 80…)
The student can define an even number and an odd number.
The student can find 5 even number and 5 odd numbers in his or her home. Explain why each number is even or odd.

Continents Research Project

Hey Second Graders!
Below is an opportunity for you to extend your learning about our recent Social Studies unit "Maps and Globes". The research paper is due by Monday, October 26th. We would love for you to share what you have learned with your classmates, so be ready to present your paper or project. If you have any questions, please let us know!

Research Project
Topic: Choose either a continent or an ocean to research and write about it. Be prepared to share what you have learned with the rest of the class.

Resources: Books about continents or oceans, the internet, Social Studies textbook, other resources at home

How to present it to the class: You may share this information in anyway that you would like, such as writing and illustrating, creating a powerpoint, creating a book, etc. We welcome your creativity!

To help you get started:
If you choose a continent, here are some ideas of things you can write about:
1) Tell about the continent long ago and how it has changed
2) Tell about the climate of that continent
3) Tell about it’s plants and animals
4) Tell about the people that live there (what they look like, their jobs, etc)
5) Tell about the natural wonders of the continent
6) Tell any other interesting fact that you learned

If you choose to write about an ocean, here are some ideas of things you can write about:
1) The location of the ocean
2) How deep the ocean is
3) Tell what the ocean floor is like
4) Tell about the water of the ocean
5) Tell about the climate about the ocean
6) Tell about the animals/plants in the oceans
7) Tell any other interesting fact that you learned

We can't wait for you to share your findings with the class!
