HI!
 I hope you had a great week!  Our class  has been busy learning new concepts daily!  This week we really focused on three digit subtraction with regrouping. This is a hard concept for second graders BUT you can help at home!  Give your child a few subtraction problems, such as 345-187, or 523-356.  Have them practice solving using the algorithm or base 10 blocks. 
 
   

Reading Workshop-  We will continue our unit on fairy tales.  We will focus on legends and myths. 

Writing Workshop-  We will work on writing personal narratives. We will really focus on conventions and spelling as we try to transition to "third grade" writers. 

Math-    We will continue our three digit subtraction with regrouping. 

Science- We will begin our unit on plants. This ties in perfectly with our unit on insects. Today we did a science experiment about pollination. Ask your child what happened when their "butterfly" stopped to drink nectar!

Class Brighteners-Congratulations to Christian!  He is our Star of the Week! Happy Birthday to Christopher.  We hope your day is special! Congratulations to Tyler B.  He lost a tooth today!
*** One of our butterflies emerged from its chrysalis today***Ask your child about it!
Have a great weekend!
