This Week in 2nd Grade

Math-  We have officially been introduced to the 100's place value!  We will be working with writing numbers (written form) and expanded form (300+30+1=331).  Eventually we will be adding and subtracting with regrouping.  
Science-  The study of the Earth's changes is coming to a close.  We will wrap things up with a fun culminating activity this week.  
Reading/Writing-  Reading groups have been established and are running smoothly!  Each student is in a small group that is reading a chapter book.  Our groups read, re-read and then complete a reading comprehension activity.    I love to hear the discussions and excitement the students are sharing about their books. 
Social Studies-  The landform science unit will compliment the geography unit we just studied in Social Studies.  We will be referencing quite a few maps in the next few weeks.
Spelling-  Spelling Lists will be in the students' Monday folders.

STAR Homework

Spelling lists will be tucked in the HW/Monday folders for this week.  These kids are doing a great job navigating their way through 2nd grade spelling tests.   Keep practicing counting money and telling time at home!  ...And then there is the most important practice your child can do at home...READ!  If homework ever gets "boring" or "redundant,"  please let me know and I can give you some ideas!  
*Please remind your child to keep track of their STARs and be responsible to turn in their HW slips on Friday.  Getting ready for 3rd grade...their homework system is different and requires more responsibility on the student's behalf!

Upcoming Dates & Events​

4/27- Talent Show (TBD- stay tuned for an email from the office)
5/4- Dance Evolution Field Trip {9:40-11:20am} *Walking Field Trip, parents are welcome to join!
5/11- BBQ & Staff/Parent Kickball Game
​5/28- Memorial Day {No School}
​5/31- Turtle Bay Field Trip {all day}

This Week in 2nd Grade

Math-  We will ease back into our math routine with some review and word problem challenges this week.  The students did well with the money unit but could use practice with telling time.  We will continue to weave that in our daily rountines at school, but please work on it at home as well.
Science-  Our "Rock Buffet" was a hit on Thursday!  These kids are so excited to learn and they make my job fun!  We will shift our focus to slow and quick changes that occur to the Earth {volcanoes, glaciers, earthquakes, bull-dozers, etc.}.  I'm looking forward to another week of hands on learning and activities with the kids!
Reading/Writing-  We will ease back into our reading routines this week as well.  My goal is to have all the reading groups reading chapter books by next week.  It's kind of a big deal!
Social Studies-  The landform science unit will compliment the geography unit we just studied in Social Studies.  We will be referencing quite a few maps in the next few weeks.
Spelling-  Spelling Lists will be in the students' Monday folders.

Parent Drivers Needed

*We need drivers for our field trip to the Gateway Museum in Chico on April 17th.  Please let me know if you can drive!
*We will also need drivers for the field trip to the Dance Evolution Performance on May 4th.  More information coming soon!
*We will need parent drivers for the field trip to Turtle Bay on May 31st.  

STAR Homework

The students will be given a spelling list this week even though it's a short week.  I will give extra time in class for them to practice.  Keep practicing counting money and telling time for math!  And then there is the most important practice your child can do at home...READ!  If homework ever gets "boring" or "redundant,"  please let me know and I can give you some ideas!  
*Please remind your child to keep track of their STARs and be responsible to turn in their HW slips on Friday.  Getting ready for 3rd grade...their homework system is different and requires more responsibility on the student's behalf!
