I hope you enjoyed this beautiful weekend!  This weather just makes us want to be outside and play, play, play but  we still have so much learning to do! On that note, here is our week of learning at a glance:

Reading Workshop-This week we will continue our unit on poetry.   Last week we worked on alliteration and posted our alliteration sentence on SeeSaw.  This week we will focus on visualization, personification, haiku, and acrostic poems. 

Writing Workshop-    This week we will work on publishing various types of poetry such as haiku and acrostic poems.   

Science/ Social Studies-  We will continue our units on plants.  We will create our sprout houses and look at each plant part and their functions.  

Math-  This week we will focus on problem solving using three digit addition and subtraction with and without regrouping.  Please check your child's yellow folder each night.  If they miss more than half of their math seat work, I have been sending it home for them to correct.   Three digit addition and subtraction is a hard  concept for  second graders but a very important one! 

Important News:   I have started a new folder in SeeSaw called Exit Tickets.  Your child will post a sentence, take  or draw a picture of something they learned that day.  I am hoping this helps with conversations when you ask, " What did you learn today?" and they can give you a better response than just ,"  I forgot" or " Nothing" 

Class Brighteners-     Lila is our V.I.P!   Lila always sets a great example for her friends!  Congratulations Lila!   Zoe, Chloe, and Lila all lost a tooth this week!  Congratulations!
