Weekly Update June 6th

Good morning!  Only 11 ½ days of school to go!  Although we’re nearing the final days of second grade, we still have a lot going on this week to keep the kids engaged and excited. 

On Monday our friends from the JV Fletcher Library will be here to speak to the children about the Summer Reading program.  This is always a lively presentation to get us excited about reading once school is out for the summer.

On Tuesday and Wednesday we look forward to hearing the country projects you’ve been working so hard on at home.  Each child will have the opportunity to present their project to the class and take questions from their classmates.  We will leave the projects on display in the classroom until our big celebration on the 17th.  If there is something special/valuable that you would rather not leave on display at school, please let me know.

On Friday we will have our annual Move Up Day.  Second graders will be walking up to Crisafulli to spend a good portion of the day (10:30-1:30) with their third grade buddies.  The kids will have a chance to tour the third grade classrooms, eat lunch in the cafeteria, and even play on the Crisafulli playground.  It is always an enjoyable day for all!

We will get back to Reading this week by looking at fairy tales.  We’ll have opportunities to read various versions of the same fairy tale.  Then, the children will compare and contrast the stories. 

Finally, we will continue working on our Earth’s Surfaces Unit.  We had fun last week looking at minerals and discussing how we use these minerals in our everyday lives. 

Have a good week everyone!!
