Conferences-
It's been a pleasure to get to meet with you and celebrate the wonderful things your child is doing in second grade. Thank you for your time and commitment to their learning.
Valentine's Day Party-
A special thanks to Mrs. Zarnstorff and Mrs. Schwaab for planning the party! Thank you to Mrs. Greenlee, Mrs. Hernandez, Mrs. Heidtke, and Mrs. Roush for being here to help out! Thank you for sending in food donations for our snack. Thank you all for making this a special day for the children.
Literacy-
We have already begun our mini-unit on weather and seasons that will lead into our geography unit. New words will come home next week and are posted here on the blog also. In our geography unit, we will learn about natural disasters. The students will research one natural disaster and create a presentation to share with the class. This will be done in keynote on the ipads and/or powerpoint on the computers. Just so you know, this is a very interesting unit of study for the children. They often have a lot of questions and worry that this will happen where they live. Be prepared for some questions about tornadoes and to discuss/review your safety plans with your children in your home.
Math-
Thank you for your time practicing math facts at home 3 nights a week. Some children need to practice addition and subtraction, and others just subtraction. Those of you on multiplication can practice that too! Our test for place value and 2-3-4 digit addition will be next Friday, February 20. Next, we will begin 2-3-4 digit subtraction with borrowing/regrouping. Knowing these basic facts will help them in learning these new skills. Thank you for your time at home!
Have a great long weekend! Thank you for all you do!
Stay warm!
Mrs. Montes
