Dear Families,
Great job to all 2nd graders for a wonderful music performance! We loved watching everyone on stage!
Some important dates to remember:
*Spring Conferences: Spring conferences are on March 30th in the evening. These conferences are on as needed basis. If we, the teachers, feel we need to meet to talk with you about your child, we have already emailed you.
*April 3-7: Spring Break
*April 28th: Celebration of Learning during the school day in the afternoon. More information to come!
Reading:
This week we continued to work on nonfiction reading by looking at a Scholastic News article that had to do with segregation, which has been a hot topic in our classroom this year. We read about an event in history, discussed it and worked on answering comprehension questions carefully. We watched a great short movie from Scholastic narrated by one of the students who participated in the Sit In, that we read about. We also spent a little time "tasting books," and picking out a new book to read with our book clubs. We're learning how to jot down notes to help us remember talking points to chat about with our groups. Next week, we will be working on meeting with our book clubs and enjoying our Milk and Cookies event on Thursday during school. Dr. Matthews has agreed to be 2nd grade’s special guest reader for this event!
Writing:
This week we finished our book reviews on Kidblog. We revised and edited to the best of our abilities. Check them out on Kidblog! Next week, we'll write some more book reviews, but this time, we'll be writing them for a special purpose. We have a new Little Library outside of our front doors of the school! We'll start adding some books and writing little book reviews to place inside. If you have any books that are in good condition that you'd like to donate to our library, we'd love to have them. I have stickers that say, "donated by" that we'll place inside. Please visit this link to see more information about these little libraries.
Math:
We had a very busy week taking tests! We reviewed the unit 6 test, did our quarterly units 5/6 test. The at home review for unit 7 came home last week. Next week, we'll make goals to go along with Unit 7, so we'll be able to focus on the things we need. We also completed lesson 7.1, which focused on learning a new math game called, Hit the Target. This is a great game to play to practice finding the difference between multiples of 10 and other 2-digit numbers. Our test for unit 7 will be sometime after Spring Break.

This week we did a lot of prep work for our community service presentation for the entire school. This was our culminating event where we showed the school what we have accomplished, as well as celebrate all we have done to help the TLC Animal Sanctuary and the Happy Days Rescue. Thank you so very much for all your support! I have attached the Animoto from the presentation, in a previous blog.
Have a wonderful weekend!
