Homework & Announcements

What's going "up" in Grade 2:

Students are practicing writing, using the writing process and writing paragraphs using all of the elements of good writing (grammar, punctuation, spelling, capitals, indentation, etc.)

The class just finished listening to a chapter book I read aloud entitled The Boxcar Children, #1. All Grade 2 students are reading chapter books now. How fantastic! Let's help them keep the momentum going.

We are expressing ourselves in many different ways. Singing is a favorite in the classroom. This week, we sang and listened to our favorite songs as we wrote about why they are our favorites.

Math is progressing well. Students are excited to start counting money, so they are completing double digit subtraction. Tal earned 100% on his math test today, and was ecstatic about counting money. Congratulations Oz! He has successfully started in the Grade 3 Math book.

Science: ENERGY and MOTION Students are learning Newton's Laws of Motion and demonstrating them. They are finding out about gravity and how forces work. Ask your child the difference in the way sound and light travels, and also the wavelengths of the color spectrum, ROYGBIV. You may be enlightened by their knowledge!

HOMEWORK:

Only Reading, Journal, and Spelling p. 76- 81 (all) to do this weekend.

Most students still DO NOT have their Tree booklets turned in. Please bring the on Monday. So far Ronnie, Oz, Yali, Rachamim, Mia, and Rafaela have turned in the Tree Booklet.

Next week, Tuesday, March 9 is conference day. Also, Wednesday, March 17 is the second conference day. No school for students on those days. I look forward to meeting with the parents again.
