Conference Week!

Thank you to everyone for returning your conference forms! I'm looking forward to meeting with you and sharing all of the growth that your 2nd graders have shown this trimester! Remember that there will be no school on Thursday and Friday of this week.

We finished our health unit about the body systems last Thursday. We will spend the next couple of weeks in Social Studies learning about our past! Students will compare and contrast Native American tribes and also take some time studying pioneers. To supplement this, we will be reading the book The Josefina Story Quilt. If you have any books or items pertaining to quilts, Native American culture, or pioneers, students are welcome to bring them in to share with the class!

We have wrapped up our math study of place value and will spend the next several days looking at volume with cube model plans. If you are looking for great math games to play at home with your child, please see the math links on the side of our blog!

Students will not receive new spelling words this week. We will move into the next spelling lesson next Wednesday, November 18.

We will have a marble party this Wednesday, November 11. Students voted to have a pajama day, so they are welcome to wear their pajamas that day!

I hope that you all have a wonderful week!
