March 26-30

Another great week for the second grade class!

In Science, we have been learning and experimenting with Magnets. We
made our own compass in class and have been preparing for the Science
Fair which will take place on April 25th. Parents are welcome to come
in during the morning of this day to see all the experiments the students
have been working on, so please mark your calendar. I will provide
more information about the Fair as the day approaches.  Next week we
will research and make posters for the Science Fair.

On Friday (March 30th), the second grade class will sing a song called
"the 3Rs" by Jack Johnson to the school during the monthly assembly.
This will kick off April's word of the month "Conservation". The
second grade class will also decorate the bulletin board outside the
cafeteria to promote conservation awareness. Please make sure to stop
by and check out the finished product.

In Reading class, we read three biographies and researched information
on a famous person. I now know more about Jeremy Lin than ever before!
Next week we will read a story called "Brothers and Sisters". In Math
we finished the chapter on money and moved on to Time and Calender.
Next week we will have a quiz and unit 6 test.


Next Wednesday (3/28) will be the race day from 1:00pm - 2:00pm. 2nd grade is
to wear red and parents are welcome to watch the races and play a soccer game
after the races. 


This weeks student of the week is Mami Sugiura. She is always a class go-getter!
Keep it up.
