Weekly Update 5/30

Happy Memorial Day! I hope you all had a wonderful long weekend! I can't believe it's almost June!


We have a busy and fun week ahead! We are all looking forward to our first all day Robinson Field Day on Wednesday. For Field Day please have your child bring a water bottle labeled with their name. There will water filling stations to refill throughout the day. Please also have your child dress accordingly (sneakers and shorts). The children will be given a blue shirt to wear that they decorated especially for Field Day. Also, please don't forget to put sunscreen on your child. Children are allowed to wear hats and sunglasses if they wish. It's going to be such a FUN day! If you are scheduled to volunteer and would like to take your child home with you at the end of the day, there will be a sign out sheet in your child's classroom.


In terms of academics, even with only 3 weeks left of school there is still lots of learning to do! Our writing blocks will focus on finishing up the last details of our informational books. We will also be doing a personal narrative piece about Field Day at the end of the week.


In Math, we will be finishing up Unit 9. The last few lessons focus on solving number stories about 2 equal groups. The children will also skip count and add to solve problems involving multiples of 10 and 5. This will be an introduction to basic multiplication facts.


We are having a blast with our science unit, Earth's Surfaces. This week we will be examining rocks to determine what minerals they are made of. Students will also be able to identify things that make up soil and rocks. We will continue discussing natural resources and how people use them to meet their needs and wants. Finally, the children will do an experiment to discover how water affects the land.

Monday, May 30th- No School for Memorial Day
Wednesday, June 1st- Field Day
Friday, June 3rd- Second Graders go to Crisafulli for 5th Grade Play
