Today, we began our unit or study on fractions. For the next two weeks, students will be learning to write, identify, and compare fractions. We will look at fractional parts of one whole, as well as fractional parts of a group.
During the month of March, 2nd graders will be studying geography in Social Studies. This week we are looking at different kinds of communities and how to use a map. Next week and the week after spring break, our classes will be "visiting" the 7 continents! During this time, students will learn about the cultures, languages, exports, etc. of the different continents. At the conclusion of this unit, your child will be bringing home many projects and lots of information! If you have lived in or visited another country and have something that your child would like to share, feel free to send it in! Please label each item letting me know whether you would like it back right away or if we can hang on to it for a couple of weeks.
Stamped, addressed envelopes for our Flat Stanley project are due tomorrow, March 2. I am looking forward to seeing the interesting projects that will be coming to us from all over the country next month!
There will be no spelling test this Wednesday. Our next spelling test will be on March 10.
Next Friday, March 12, 2nd graders will be attending a production of "Stellaluna" at the Lied Center. What a great opportunity to review our author study of Janell Canon earlier this year!
