Dear Bighorn Parents,

It is said that April showers bring May flowers, that could be the case this week.  Please be sure to check the weather so that your child is dressed properly for recess.  It never ceases to amaze me how different the temperature can be in Northern Nevada during the spring.

We have completed instruction in all 2nd grade math standards!!  For the remainder of the school year, we will be focusing on standards that have not been completely mastered.  Our math will consist of many “mini lessons” and “mini assessments” on previously taught material to ensure that students who previously were at mastery level are still there and students that had not mastered a standard have the opportunity for additional instruction and practice so that they may be reassessed.

This week the focus will be on line plots, bar graphs, and picture graphs.  Students will be using data to create graphs.  They will also use the above mentioned graphs to answer questions.

Spring activities (baseball, softball, Sound of Music, and lacrosse) are in full swing!!  It’s so fun to watch students participate in these activities.  We have had a lot of tired students this past week.  Miss Garcia and I realize that all these activities can lead to some late nights (not getting home until 9:00 PM or later).  Remember to adjust schedules if needed.  We have had our own children complete homework assignments on the way to practice or games.  

Sincerely,

Mrs. Bloomfield

      and

Miss Garcia
