Happy Monday Everyone!

I hope everyone enjoyed time with your families during

Thanksgiving.  It is hard to believe we only have three

weeks left for this semester!

This week we are reading the story Schools Around the World.  The

skill we will focus on is identifying the main idea and the details of

the passage.  Our spelling words have the long a sound using -ai and

-ay.  In language we are learning to write friendly letters and then

we will write a letter to Santa!

In math we are working with graphs and then we will begin our

unit on measurement.

Don't forget our field trip to see Charlotte's Web is Thursday.  We will

have an early lunch in the classroom and will depart the school at

10:45. Because we are eating early, everyone must either bring their

lunch, or purchase a sack lunch from the cafeteria.  You indicated your

preference when you filled out your field trip paperwork.  If you are

unsure what you selected, please let me know.  We should have our

field trip t-shirts tomorrow.

Second grade does a social studies unit on holidays around the world.

Your child will pick a country to learn how they celebrate winter holidays.

If their is a country of special interest to you and your family, please talk

to your child about that tonight.  We will pick our countries tomorrow.

I will send home the requirements for the project tomorrow.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Have a wonderful week!

Mrs. Kane
