Welcome to 2nd Grade
It is the beginning of a new year and we already
have a lot of exciting things planned in 2nd grade for the remainder of the
year. We will be going on our field trip to Tellus Museum on Wednesday,
January 11 and Thursday, January 12. We will be going to their Planetarium to
learn more about the Stars to begin our science unit. I have not been but I
have heard a lot of good things about it.
This nine weeks we will be focussing on
fractions, measuremunt, money, and the calendar in math. Our focus in Reading
and Writers Workshop will be on nonfiction. Not only will be reading a lot of
nonfiction books, we will be writing on topcis that we are experts in. In
science we will be learning about the stars and the constellations that they
form. and later we will learning about Dr. Martin Luther King and Jackie
Robinson. We will continue learning new words and patterns in Word Work and
sharing in our Morning Meetings. In music we will be working on our Spring
Performance "Nuts" to be held in late March.
Please continue to have your child practice
their basic addition and subtraction facts It will help them so much if they
have these basic skills in the intermediate grades! Keep reading!
Thanks so much for all of your help and support!
