We are having a GREAT week in second grade! Please check out the announcements below and the information about what we've been doing in class!
Welcome:
A warm Outstanding Owls welcome goes out to the Russell family! The Russells moved to Marietta
a few weeks ago and joined our class! Their daughter has been the perfect addition to our class family, and we are so excited to have them!
Lunch Change:
This Friday we are changing our lunch time. This Friday, January 15th, we'll be eating lunch from 12:03-12:33. If you would like to have lunch with us that day, please be sure to come at the different time!
Save the Date:
East Side STEM night is coming soon! Tuesday, January 26th
and Wednesday, January 27th from 6-7:30.We will break up the two
nights alphabetical by last name (A-L) on the 26th, and (M-Z) on the
27th. Bring the entire family there will be 10 fun activities
including engineering, robotics, coding, and more! Uncle Maddio’s will have pizza
dinner here for you to purchase. Flyer will be coming home soon!!
Social Studies:
We've started learning all about Civil Rights and the contributions that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. made to the Civil Rights Movement! Students are fascinated by this time in history and have loved making a flip book all about Dr. King!
Writing Workshop:
We started last week writing some goals we had for the New Year! Then, we jumped right into learning the difference between facts and opinions. We read the book Duck! Rabbit! and formed opinion paragraphs supporting our stance on whether the main character was in fact a duck or a rabbit!
Math:
We've been hard at work learning how to identify coins/bills and count combinations of money! This is a challenging skill, so we'll be working on it for the next several weeks!
Reading:
The class LOVES reading folk tales and fairy tales--there are so many new versions of traditional tales we've been studying! We're keeping track of the story elements we find as readers, and we're learning to make connections to the characters!
We're having a GREAT week!
Love,
Mrs. Kidd
