Week 27 3/26-3/29

Dear Parents,


It’s the week before Spring Break, the students (and teachers too) are very excited about
having a week off!  Miss Garcia and myself hope everyone has a restful and safe vacation.


We were happy to start our conferences last Friday, March 23rd.  Conferences will continue
after vacation and conclude on April 13th.  If you haven’t signed up for a conference please
do so with the Sign Up Genius link that was sent a few weeks ago.


Mark Your Calendar…
Second grade students will be presenting their Geography Projects on Wednesday,
March 28th in the cafeteria from 3:30 to 4:00.  Each student will present a short slide show
with the land form or body of water they researched plus they will present their 3-D maps
depicting either a urban, suburban, or rural community.   We hope you can join us!!


Math
In math, 2nd graders have been working on word problems that involve money and adding
up to four, 2-digit numbers.  Our work with this will continue this week with assessments on
both of those standards.


Mon.
IXL P.10 Add Money up $1.00 Word Problems
Tues.
IXL P.12 Subtract Money up $1.00 Word Problems
Wed.

Thurs.

Writing
Students will be going back through the different types of writing.  Our focus for this week will
be opinions. Students were exposed to this in the 1st Trimester.  This will give students another
chance to work on this type of writing.


Language
In language students will be working on using apostrophes correctly.  They will be using
them in contractions and possessive nouns.


Contractions      

I am                    do not they are
I’m                      don’t they’re
Possessive Nouns

Projects
Students will be finishing up their 3-D Communities and preparing to present their slide show
and 3-D maps on Wednesday.

As was mentioned earlier in the blog, Miss Garcia and myself wish all our 2nd grade families
the very best during our Spring Break.  Have fun, get some rest, and be safe...we will see
you all on Monday, April 9th!!

Have a wonderful Easter and Spring Break!!
Miss Garcia & Mrs. Rowlett
