Greetings 2nd Grade Families, May 16-20
It was so great to meet with you all and share how well your student is progressing. Just 8 weeks left of 2nd grade and we plan to make the most of it. We have a full week this week but will take Friday afternoon off to go on a little fieldtrip to Kiwanis Park. Please make sure students have their lunch and a water bottle in the morning because we may leave right before lunch starts. We will play for a couple hours and return before school is finished for the day.
As we move into this week, we will keep working with adjectives in our Language lessons and will add in the adverbs. These just tell us “how” something happened and describe the verb, such as “happily” waved, “kindly” helped, “softly” spoke, etc. Last week I grouped our spelling words according to similar special sounds for the test and will do that again this week. Look for the “air”, “are”, “err”, and “arr”. For students who find spelling challenging, this might be a great way to study them, even when they write their homework. Order does not matter for that assignment.
Our math will focus on rounding to the nearest 10 in numbers, temperatures, and even money. Please continue to work on counting money with your student if they are challenged by this concept. Reviewing their multiplication and division facts is a big help too and can be done while you are driving to school or heading to the store. Every little bit helps them prepare for next year when they need to be fluent in that area.
We have 2 full weeks of curriculum before our next “off week” which will begin with Memorial Day. Please keep encouraging your student to do their best work and finish this year strong. They have all done an amazing job this year.
Upcoming Events:
Wednesday (May 18th)- we will do our “fun run 5k” rain or shine (unless it is absolutely pouring). Have your student wear tennis shoes that day.
Friday (May 20th)- Kiwanis Field Trip 11am-2
Off week- (May 30th-June 3rd)
