This is the culprit. Whenever we hear the news that we might have a big snowfall, we let our snowman sing, "Let it Snow!" and he always does! He's responsible for the snow and the power outage. We're putting him away at the back of the closet and not letting him out again until next year!
A note from Mrs. Bedford about Spring Conferences:

A note from Mrs. Bedford about Spring Conferences:
Spring Conferences: On Monday, March 26th, in the late afternoon/evening, our staff will be holding Spring parent teacher conferences. These conferences are reserved for teachers and parents to meet on an as needed basis. If the teacher feels a conference is needed, the teacher will be reaching out to those involved to schedule a time. As always, if you, the parent, feel you need to meet with the teacher, please let him/her know.
Reading and Writing: This week we began our study on informational texts. Students explored informational texts and learned about text features and how they help us to understand the text better. Students will be learning how to read and write informational text over the next few weeks. When reading informational texts at home, encourage your child to point out the features that the author included in order for the reader to understand more about the topic, such as captions, bold words, cut a ways, titles and subtitles, maps, diagrams, glossaries, and table of contents. Like in reading, students are starting their study on informational writing as well! This week students thought about topics that they have studied or know a lot about. Then they found books on that topic. They will be taking what they learn about non fiction texts from reading and writing, to write their own informational pieces on their personal expertise!
We're reading a great book for our classroom read aloud called, " The Magical Animal Adoption Agency: The Enchanted Egg." We were lucky enough to get a mystery box sent to us by the M.A.A.A.!
Yes, this is what hatched from our mysterious package! We'll measure and name it on Monday!
As expectations rise in second grade math, automatically knowing addition and subtraction facts becomes more important. Please continue to practice math facts so that as we begin to learn about double digit addition and subtraction, it is not too difficult. The sites below have worksheets that could be used for practice as well as the Xtra math website. Math Practice at home:
Our amaryllis bulbs bloomed! They didn't get as tall as we expected but we love the blooms!
Science: The past several weeks we continued learning about measurement with our Measuring Matters Unit. Students learned about area and perimeter. They had to create a "Zoo" and measured the area and perimeter of the cages at the zoo. Students also learned about capacity and created a "Gallon Man" to learn about measuring equivalents for measuring capacity. This week we also did a little Matter observation where we learned about solids, liquids and gases.

Thank you to the DCC for supporting our kids with some new building toys!
Reminder: Please encourage your child to come to school ready to learn and ready to lead!
Have a great weekend!
