Weekly Update 5/23

Good morning!  We are entering our last full week of May today!  The warmer temperatures have been fantastic.  Here is a look at what we’ll be doing this week.

We will begin a new Science unit this week!  This will be a study of “Earth’s Surfaces.”  The lessons will be very hands-on.  The children will have opportunities to solve real-world problems through lots of fun experiments!

During our Reading blocks I will begin reading individually with students in order to assess their progress in reading since March.  I am seeing so much growth on a daily basis with all the children- it’s so exciting!!

Our Writing time will be spent putting the finishing touches on our country books.  We will add a Table of Contents and a Works Cited Page to complete the books.  In addition, we will do some more personal narrative work during the remaining writing times.

Math this week focuses on a review on money.  We will review Equivalent Names for Money Amounts and try out an open response problem related to money.  The children will also be taking a district-wide math assessment, which looks at all of the skills learned this year in second grade.


Friday will be our JUMP ROPE FOR HEART culminating assembly.  We will celebrate all the donations we’ve received for the American Heart Association and have a chance to strengthen our own hearts as we all jump rope together as an entire school!


Have a great week!!
