Quarter 3 week 1

Happy 2016 Bighorn Families,

We hope you had a restful, happy and fun-filled Winter Break.  I can’t believe that here we are getting lesson plans ready for week 20!

The week of before Winter Break we did a lot of review, assessing and reassessing in both first and second grade classes.

We are starting off the New Year with measuring.  Second graders will be expected to work on and meet the following standards:

  • measure to determine which objects are longer than others
  • estimate lengths using centimeters, inches, and feet
  • measure an object twice using different units of measurements
  • select appropriate tools such as rulers, yardsticks or measuring tapes in order to measure accurately.

News from Mrs. Rowlett

Welcome back 2nd grade families,

I hope everyone had a restful break.  This week in Language Arts class we will be working on compound words, continue to write using our strategies and 5 star sentences.  We will also be beginning Wonder stories this week.  We will use these non-fiction text to answer questions about the text by highlighting where in the story the answer can be found.

Homework reminder -- All Bighorns should be reading 20 minutes each night.  If your child doesn't bring a book home to read please have them choose a book from home to read.  

Have a great week!
