Week of 1/8

 Welcome Back! Happy New Year! 
I enjoyed seeing you at conferences. Thank you for partnering with me to help your child succeed. If you were unable to make a conference, please reach out and we can try to schedule one this week. 

 Diving Right In!

History: 
  • American History Overview (Columbus-->Declaration) before diving in deeply
Science: 
  • Our next unit is "The Earth's Seasons" focusing on the why's behind them!
Reminder: The Simple Machine Project (Part 4 and the machine itself are due Monday 1/8/18
  • "Museum Walk Wednesday"
    We are planning to host a "Museum Walk" of all the Simple Machines on Wednesday.  We will have the Simple Machines set up in the courtyard area and parents will be invited to walk through our museum and admire everyone's work. (We are trying to figure out the timing so students can attend with their parents). At the end of the museum time parents can take the projects home with them. Please keep an eye out for future email about this event! I know the children are excited to share their projects!
ELA: 
  • Cursive will be taught this quarter! The scholars are so excited.  Please take time each evening to reinforce correct handwriting formation. This will lead to a smooth transition to cursive  
  • Writing- Parts of a Paragraph Review "My Winter Break"  
  • Grammar-   
    • “Period, statement, declarative sentence” 
    • “Go back to the verb. Divide the complete subject from the complete predicate” 
    • “Underline the complete subject once and the complete predicate twice.”  


Please send in "Little House in the Big Woods" author: Laura Ingalls Wilder by Tuesday 1/9/18
  






Math:   
  • Please note: No Homework Monday for math 
Second grade Semester 2 - The new math workbook and textbooks coming home! The next math unit is Missing numbers then mental math (please be practicing making ten facts with your child to prepare them for this unit - they should have their math facts memorized 1+9, 2+8, 3+7, 4+6, 5+5, 10+0)


I look forward to an exciting 3rd Quarter!
