Grade Two is easing in to the last theme of the year, How Does the World Work. Topics which include time zones, geographic boundaries, forms of communication, and shelters will be integrated into the curriculum. Math is more fun as it is being wrapped up in multi-digit addition and subtraction, fractions, and some division. Students are becoming more and more fascinated by solids, liquids, and gases while becoming more sophisticated scientists. Today they were serious scientists discovering the properties of mystery liquids.
Monday is a normal school day. Tuesday is a half day. You will be receiving an official informative letter from the school. Holidays Shavuot and Buddha's birthday require that work and school be suspended, therefore, families can observe these celebrations together.
Social Studies reports about the Cities of Israel need to be completed and shared on Monday. Students should be able to answer questions about the city they researched without having to rely on the poster or the report 100% of the time. Please allow your child time to read the report out loud to you several times for familiarity. They may log these readings as 1 page into the Reading Logs.
Spelling lesson 24 should be completed and returned Monday, as the Unit 4 test will be held Monday morning. Students need to practice the words in order to succeed. Also, they can use the Unit 4 Spelling Project (due Tuesday) as a fun way to study challenging words.
Socially, Grade Two is going "through the fire." Have a conversation with your child about the friends and how they get along. They are itching to share information.
Thank you for your support.
