Happy Monday! We made
it through the long month of March and look forward to an April full of
sunshine and warmth (hopefully!). Here
is a look at what we have planned for this week…
For writing time
we will finish up and bind our poetry books.
We’ll then be moving on to an informational writing unit. During this unit the children will be writing
information about a country of their ancestry.
They will be doing research about topics that interest them most about
their country of origin. Thank you to all who have turned in their
ancestry information. We would like
those back for Tuesday so that the librarians can begin pulling books.
The children did a nice job over the past few weeks with
paraphrasing. Reading time this week will be spent discussing Main Idea and
details that support that main idea.
We’ll do some whole group and small group lessons to practice this
comprehension skill.
We’re moving on to our 5th continent already in Social Studies- Antarctica! We’ll get to know a bit about the continent
during our lessons over the next few days.
The coolest part about this continent is that no one actually lives
there!! We will discuss why. In addition, we’ll talk a lot about which animals inhabit Antarctica.
We got off to a great start last week on Unit 8 of our Everyday Math program. Please continue to reinforce the ideas of
parallel sides and square corners with your child. These are newer concepts for some. Our lessons this week will continue to talk
about 2-D shape attributes. We will also
begin discussing 3-D shapes.
Important Reminders for this Week:
Tuesday,
April 5th is School Store for Grade 2
Thursday,
April 7th will be our first opportunity to walk
the Robifulli Trail and meet our 3rd Grade Buddies. We will be visiting Crisafulli to see the 5th
Grade Chorus perform. Please watch the
weather so that the children are prepared for an outdoor walk (the performance
is first thing in the morning). Thank
you!
