Week of March 2nd-March 8th

Hello Second Grade Families!  March is off to a great start!  Today we celebrated Read Across America, and the life of Dr. Suess.  The students had so much fun bringing in their blankets and pillows as they curled up and read for enjoyment.

This week is going to fly by... the students will only be in school on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and will have Thursday and Friday off due to conferences.  We are so excited to meet with you about your child's 2nd trimester goals and progress.  Thank you for taking the time to come in and meet with us. 

TCAP is underway!  The second grade students did not have FOSS science today due to the TCAP schedule.  We also have a modified recess/lunch schedule this week.  Recess and lunches start at 12:30pm and end at 1:25pm. Please fell free to contact the front office, or your child's teacher if you would like to know the specific time your child's class goes to lunch or recess this week.   We are reminding students of the importance of being quiet while walking through the hallways during testing. 

Teachers will only be doing reading conferences on Monday and Tuesday of this week.  All work will be due the following week.

Math- Second grade math students will be working on Unit 10 Decimals and Place Value.  Third grade math students will be working on Fractions. 

Wordly Wise- We will be finishing and testing lesson 11 this week.

Spelling- we will not be moving forward with a new spelling list this week due to the short week.  Please look forward to new words next week.

Writing- Teachers will be continuing with the writing prompt from last week.. "How would you persuade a Leprechaun to give you his gold?"
