WOW, it's hard to believe that we only
have 2 more weeks of school! Here's a look at what we will be doing this week.
Math- We will spend some time reviewing math concepts and
getting ready for our End of the Year Assessment. The assessment will take place
on Tuesday.
Reading- I will be spending the first part of the week finishing up
our end of the year reading assessments with some children. Then, we will get
back to reading groups and will be focusing on writing questions for the
author. We will also enjoy some fairy tales and discussing similarities and
differences between the many different versions. Feel free to ask your child
about the elements of a fairy tale.
Science- We are having a great time learning
about Earth's Surfaces. This week the students will do experiments where they
will investigate how wind and water change the land. They will also learn about
other forces that cause Earth's Land to change. Students will use the
engineering design process to design, create, and test a solution to the
problem of landslides. Things are going to get messy, but fun!
Writing- The students will start reflecting on their year in second
grade by completing memory books, posters, etc.
** Move-Up Day is Wednesday, June 10th
(rain or shine). If it's nice out, we will be leaving at 10:30 and walking the trail to Crisafulli.
If it's raining, we will be taking a bus. The students will meet their Third
Grade Buddies, get a tour of the building, have lunch and recess, and get to
meet the third grade teachers and Principal/Assistant Principal. Students can
buy lunch at Crisafulli with their REGULAR lunch ticket or can bring cash if
they don't have a ticket. Of course, students can also bring their lunch if
they choose.
** On Wednesday, the students will also
have an introduction to the summer reading program that is held at the Fletcher
Library during the summer. Hopefully many of the kids will participate!
** We are in need of egg cartons. If
you have any at home, please feel free to send them in with your child.
Thanks!
