100th Day Recap and Monday News!

Dear Parents,

We had a GREAT 100th Day of School on Friday!  Check out some pictures of our class dressed like 100 year olds and completing the 100 cup stack challenge at the bottom of this post.

This week, we're continuing to learn about Civil Rights and Jackie Robinson, the first African-American to play major league baseball.  We're having a speaker visit the 2nd grade on Tuesday to talk to us about African-American history, and we're looking forward to this presentation!

In math, we'll be solving word problems involving money up to $5.00.  Students will need to be able to compare amounts of money, add up combination of bills and coins, and determine if someone has enough money to buy an item of a specified price.  Students do NOT need to understand making change at this time!

In reading, we're learning about determining the lesson/moral of the story and using text evidence to support our thinking!

I can't wait for the great week we have ahead!

Love,
Mrs. Kidd
