Welcome to our second last full week of second grade. I can't believe there are only eleven a a half more school days left in the school year! and the learning and review continues.
Last week was a very busy week for us, but a wonderful experience for us all. Thanks for coming along to our African Animal Museum and Electronic Portfolio sharing session last Tuesday and a big thank you to Lizzie, Zara, Luke and Gabby's moms for helping out on our MOSI field trip last Thursday, which was full of fun and learning.
Just to remind you that all library books were due back on May 10th and if your child still has any at home, please send these to school. Splash Day will take place this Friday, May 18th during your child's regular PE lesson. Students are to wear appropriate swimwear under their school uniform. Please keep in mind each child must wear their regular school uniform at all times except during their PE period. Don't forget sunscreen and/or hat, and of course a plastic bag (for wet swimmers) and towel.
Our ice-cream sundae party will take place on the last day of school after PE. You are welcome to join us at the picnic tables at about 11:15. Thanks to our class representatives for organizing this celebration.
Current Event continues this week with Gabby and John sharing on Tuesday, Lucy and Connor on Wednesday, Quentin and Skyler on Thursday and Lucile and Ethan on Friday.
Friday's Parent Reader is Jamie McElroy.
We are continuing review high frequency words this week in spelling: follow, pretty, couldn't, happen, themselves, direction, nothing, life, someone, without, instead, either, lunch, important, less, own, think, round, scared, person, short, add, wanted, young, question, yourself, answer, money, simple, more
In reading workshop, we are doing a mini-unit on Summer Reading and in the writing workshop, the students are working on publishing one last personal narrative.
In math, we are continuing our measurement unit, including providing experiences with finding perimeters by measuring to the nearest centimeter, exploring area, capacity and weight.
In social students, the students are learning about Antarctica and doing some research on different penguin species.
We have finished our Butterfly unit in science, and so we will end the year doing some fun experiments, including Static Stuff (How can a balloon move water without touching it?).
Warmest wishes for a great week ahead -
Ms. O'Mullane
