Homework

Dear parents and students,
Parent conferences are being held on Wednesday. I look forward to meeting with you again.

This week's line leader is Rafaela.
This week's caboose is Arya.
This week's door holder is Bella.

Romi, Yali, and Ronnie used ixl.com for math and turned in their record sheet this morning which is inside of the communication book. It is a fun learning activity that all Grade Two should practice.

Grade Two took a spelling pre-test and also practiced editing. They corrected their writing pieces by checking spelling and conventions. They were exposed to interjections and adverbs.

Science: Grade Two learned 3 major aspects of FORCE today:
1. A force is a push.
2. A force is a pull.
3. A force can change the direction of an object.
