I hope you had a wonderful week! We sure have been busy and today was no different. The school carnival had everyone VERY excited today.  I plan on being here around 7:00 so I hope I can run into some of you at the carnival.  

It's hard to believe how fast this school year is flying by.  We still are introducing new concepts every week so it's very important to encourage your child to follow our school rules and class expectations.  I am having to stop many times during a lesson these days due to interruptions or friends not staying on task.  I know it feels like summer but we still have so much to cover!

Here is our week of learning at a glance:

Reading/ Writing Workshop- We will wrap up  our unit on poetry.   We will publish our haiku poems and write poems based on personification.  Then we will finally choose an animal to begin our animal research project!

Math-    This week we will take our second grade Math Benchmark.  We will review on Monday and Tuesday and then take the test on Wednesday and Thursday.  I am excited to see your child's progress this year and the benchmark is a great way to see if your child has mastered second grade math concepts. 

Science/ Social Studies- This week we will focus on birds and fish.We got a little side tracked when our caterpillars arrived this week. We learned about insects and we have been observing their growth in our butterfly journal. Today we made a stop motion video of an insects life cycle so make sure you check SeeSaw. 

Important News:  

We are still in need of toilet paper rolls so please keep sending those in!
