Our
last month of second grade will be off to a great start this week…
Math- The
last unit of our math program will serve as our review for the year. We will begin this week by reviewing time and
calendars. We will discuss telling time
to the nearest five minutes, as well as clock language (quarter past, 25
minutes to, etc.).
Writing-
Our last big writing assignment will be to think about our
favorite memories from 2nd grade.
The children will have a chance to brainstorm and recall all of the fun
things we’ve done this year. They will
then use what they know about personal narrative stories to write a story about
one of their favorite memories.
Science-
The children have done a great job so far on our science unit,
Earth’s Surfaces. The next couple of
lessons will focus on natural resources that people use to meet their needs and
wants. The students will even get a
chance to examine some rocks and minerals first hand!
**Wednesday
is field day!!!! The second grade field
day will take place in the afternoon.
The children will be outside for the entire field day. Please make sure they come with water bottles
clearly labeled with their names.
**Thursday
we will get the opportunity to walk the Crisafulli Trail for a second time so
we can watch the 5th grade play.
Please keep an eye on the weather for Thursday to assure that kids are
wearing appropriate shoes and clothing for a walk through the trail. We already have signed permission slips, so
we should be all set there!
*** Your
child will be bringing home a long-term homework assignment today. They are
being asked to do a project based on the country that they researched and
present it to the class on their assigned day. I am looking forward to the
presentations, as it is such a great way to end the school year! The
homework for the rest of the year will be this project, reading for 15 minutes
each night, and spelling. We will no longer be assigning math sheets or reading
comprehension questions so that your child can focus more time on the ancestor
project.
