HI!

I hope you had a great week!  I just wanted to remind you that we have two  important events this week.  First, on March 2, second graders are able to come to school dressed as their favorite chapter book character!  For example, Junie B. Jones, Katie Kazoo, Nate the Great, Jack from the Magic Treehouse series and any other favorite character!   Second, our hoedown is FRIDAY!  It will begin promptly at 8:35.  It adds to the fun and excitement when your child dresses in western gear.... . . . .yeehaw!

Here is our week of learning at a glance:

 

Reading Workshop-This week we will continue our unit on folktales.  We will spend another day on legends and then read a few tall tales!  

 

Writing Workshop-    We will continue to work on writing our own fairy tale. A few of us are editing and working on our published copy!  I hope to finish these stories up next week. 

Science/ Social Studies-  This week we will focus on the stars and the sun.   This is a fun unit and the students have enjoyed charting the moon phases this week!

Math-  This week we will focus on three digit addition using base 10 blocks (hundreds, tens, and ones) and adding using a number line.  

Important News:  Dress as your favorite chapter book character on Thursday.  The hoedown is Friday at 8:35.   

Class Brighteners-  Lorena is our Star Student this week! Way to go Lorena!    Madison is our V.I.P!  I am super proud of Madison!  She is a great helper and a great friend to everyone in our classroom!  Next week our V.I.P. will be someone who listens to others without interrupting. Many of our friends have great ideas to share but others often interrupt our lessons and discussions by blurting out.  Remind your child what we are looking for so they can be the next Very Important Person! 

Have a great weekend!
