Happy Monday Everyone!


Thank you to everyone who came to watch our parade on Friday and help with the party.  It was a huge success thanks to you!


This week we are reading about weather and how it changes the earth from our science books.  We will have a science test on Friday, so the science books will come home on Thursday night to read this chapter for review.


In language we are reviewing reflexive pronouns, irregular verbs, and suffixes -ed and -ing.  We will have an assessment over these skills later this week.


Our phonics lessons this week will focus on the various ways the long a sound is written (ai, at, a_e) and the soft g and c sounds. We will not have a spelling test this week.


We are beginning Unit 3 in math which will introduce strategies for multi-digit addition and subtraction.  We do not teach students how to "borrow and carry" in second grade.  That will come later. This is different from the way you and I learned to add and subtract.  I would encourage you to trust this process.  Your students will be able to add and subtract numbers and truly understand what they are doing.  I am always amazed at what they can do after teaching this unit!


Our next Focus Friday is this week.  We will learn about speaking with good purpose.  The color to wear on Friday is PURPLE.


Lastly, if you would like to donate to the United Way by purchasing a Mega Pass for your student, please fill out the form and send it in tomorrow.  This is totally optional.


I hope you have a wonderful week!
