Reading/Writing: We are finishing our fabulous Poetry study and moving into Reading and writing Fairy Tales. We continue to work on reading and responding to text. I encourage you to ask your child questions after he/she finishes a chapter or entire book. We talk about how good readers think while they read. It is so important for 2nd graders to comprehend what they are reading. This might mean they need to slow down as a reader.
Math: Unit 10 tests went home on Tuesday. Please go over the test with your child. Remember only the non-shaded problems on the front sheet need to be proficient by the end of the unit. The shaded questions should be mastered at a later date.
Social Studies: We have a social studies community project coming up- a note will come home in next week. Students will chose a building to create that would fit in either an urban, suburban or rural community. The individual building will be done at home and then brought to school on May 25th for students build a community in small groups. The communities will be on display for the Fine Arts Fair on Thurs. May 26 from 6:00-8:30
Reminders: Please turn in the Ye Olde Shcool House field trip form and fee by Friday May 13.
*The All School field trip to the Brewer Game is Wed. May 11.
Ask Your Child:
*How did you create a a water fountain with air?
* Who is your favorite charter in the read aloud Sideways Stories from Wayside School? Why?
*What was your favorite part of writing poetry?
*When making change, what does Mrs. Dahms tell you to do (Count up)
