I am in the process of working on one more field trip. I will email the class once I have everything in place and send out the permission slips.

This Week in 2nd Grade

Math- We are going to zip through triple digit addition and subtraction in the next 2 weeks. We are also going to tackle measuring this week. I don't think it will feel like "math" to them... it will allow for some fun, hands-on learning!
Science- Our final habitat project will be done in class this week! They will be designing an animal with specific adaptations to survive in a specific habitat. I'm looking forward to watching their knowledge be applied in a creative way!
Reading/Writing- We are reading Charlotte's Web and tying it into our Habitat Unit. We will also use writing to describe different animals and habitats. Our book study will also include new vocabulary...so feel free to ask them what word they learned today! (***Monday we learned about the word "injustice")
Social Studies- Our science unit will continue to develop map reading skills, which is a Social Studies standard for 2nd Grade. We will also be talking a bit more about economy as we read Charlotte's Web.
Spelling- There will be no spelling for the rest of the school year.

STAR Homework

Last week was the last week of Homework! Take time to play and be together in the evenings. Reading will always be a great benefit to your child...now and always! Please check Monday folders for student work and important information (like permission slips!). Monday folders can be turned in on Tuesday.

Library Books

Please look in your child's Monday folder for an overdue library book notice. We were able to find a couple of them in class today but there are a good handful of "missing" books. They can bring them in this week and I'll make sure the library has them by Friday.

STAR-B-Que
on Friday

This Friday our school will be celebrating the hard work many students (3rd-8th grade) put into state testing. The BBQ will start at 11 am. Hot Dogs and condiments will be provided for all kids. If you can, families are asked to bring chips (A-H), fruit (I-Q) or cookies (R-Z) according to your last name.

Thank you to the parents who walked with our class to the
PPAC on Friday!

This Week in 2nd Grade

Math- Our new unit will cover adding on to a triple-digit number. It's all about place value knowlege and understanding!
Science- We have started our new habitat unit in 2nd grade! Our final project (done in class) will be to design an animal with adaptations for it's habitat. I'm looking forward to watching their knowledge be applied in a creative way!
Reading/Writing- We are finishing up our current chapter books and getting ready to mix the groups up and start a new book together! We will be reading Charlotte's Web and tying it into our Habitat Unit. We will also use writing to describe different animals and habitats.
Social Studies- Our science unit will continue to develop map reading skills, which is a Social Studies standard for 2nd Grade. We will also be talking a bit more about economy as we read Charlotte's Web.
Spelling- Spelling Lists will be in the students' Monday folders.

STAR Homework

Make it a point to finish strong! Remember next year will be a different level of responsibility and work load. Spelling lists will be tucked in the HW/Monday folders for this week. Math can include ST math, math game, telling time, math facts, etc. Writing can include a story (with a beginning, middle and end) or using their spelling words in sentences. ...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!

Upcoming Dates & Events

5/11- BBQ & Staff/Parent Kickball Game
