Money, Money, Money...Do you have a handful of change you can spare for our math unit? It's so valuable for students to use "real" money when learning to identify and quanitify money. Send your child in with any amount...I'll do my best to return your money back to you or keep it around for something fun for the class! So Thankful...It was so fun meeting with the families on Thursday and Friday (still more today and tomorrow)! Thank you for showing up...for celebrating...giving a high-five or a fist bump! Your kids are lucky to have you! I'm lucky to partner with such amazing families! I'm very excited to head forward this trimester and kick things up a notch! The kids are ready!!! This Week in 2nd GradeMath- We will be starting our math unit on money! Science- Another STEM challenge this Friday! Reading/Writing- Goals were identified during PLPs and I would like to shake things up a bit in our reading and writing groups in order to help kids meet there goals. "Goal Groups" will give kids a chance to work on their goals of fluency, comprehension and challenging text. Social Studies- This week we will be taking another look at maps and geography. This will be a good springboard to our Landform unit in science. Spelling- The students will have a new spelling list in their folders today. Test will be on Friday. STAR HomeworkBy now the Homework menu should be pretty routine. Remember that variety is offered but reading is always going to be the best use of their time! Let me know if you need any new and fresh ideas! Start identifying and counting change for math or write a letter to a grandparent. Upcoming Dates & Events3/8- 2nd Trimester Awards @ 8:30 am
