March 20, 2015
Hello families!

Happy Friday! We hope you all had a fabulous week and are able to enjoy this coming weekend.

Keep an eye out for a letter, email, or sign up coming from your room parent(s) in regards to the spring auction baskets. Each year we are blown away by the creativity and generosity of our families. Thank you so much for your time that you put into this fun event to support our students.

Double check your calendars for this years Second Grade Performance. The classes will perform their hard work on May 7th at 2:30 to the primary grades and then there will also be an evening performance for friends and family at 6:30 on May 7th. All performances are here at the school in the gym.

Next week is a full week (only one more left!!!) we will be focusing on the following content:

Reading: Figuring out what is important and looking for key details as we compare and contrast different versions of the same story. For example "Little Red Hen" compared to "Gator Gumbo." "Gator Gumbo" has a southern twist to the traditional story "Little Red Hen."

Math: Second grade- we will continue with Unit 10 that focuses on money and decimal amounts with a calculator. Third grade-will finish up Unit 8, fractions.

Fast: We will move into concept 24 "Scribal O." Our spelling words will come from list 24 applying the FAST concept of "IGH as long I."

Writing: Our focus will be expository writing, and mini lessons based on each classrooms needs. As a grade level we are making sure students understand the purpose of writing and the process of editing vs. revising.

Social Studies: Maps and how to use a map is our focus.

Wordly Wise: Finish list 12



Have a fantastic Friday and a great weekend!
