Dear Second Grade Blog Followers,
This will be my last weekly blog post of the year. Let me say from the bottom of my heart that this has been an amazing year. It has impressed me to see the growth of all the second graders. It has been a pleasure to teach and learn from all the students throughout the year. Thank you to all the students for all your effort and willingness to be risk takers to overcome learning obstacles. Thank you to the parents for supporting your child's education and being involved and supportive. I will miss all the students very much.
Students please continue to read and write journals entries over the summer and explore educational websites that can be found on my blog. Please also write me emails over the summer and let me know what you are up to - jamesanderson.his@gmail.com
On Wednesday we had our class Spelling Bee and Math Bee. Congratulations to everyone for impressive results.

June 11-15
Good day once again to all second grade blog followers.
This week has been business as usual for the second grade class and next week we will start winding things down to get ready for the end of the school year. It was great to see some of the parents at school to watch the students' final presentation. They have shown such improvement in their presentation skills. Well done to all students!
In Math this week we completed Chapter 22 - Subtracting Three Digit Numbers. Next week we will review and take the Unit 8 test.
For Reading class we read the story "Join the Circus" and next week we will read our last story "Raymond's Best Summer".
The last spelling quiz will be held this coming Monday. We will also be reviewing all the spelling words from this year and have an end-of-year Spelling Bee on Wednesday.
In Science this week we started a chapter called Objects in Motion where we learned about force, gravity and motion. Next Friday will also be our end-of-year class party.
Congratulations to Michael Wang for being this weeks student of the week. Michael has been very responsible in class and is always careful when taking tests.
Dates to remember for next week (6/11 - 6/15)
Monday - Spelling quiz (machine, package, achieve, afraid, secret, degree, bother, rather, whether, reflect)
Wednesday - End-of-Year Spelling Bee Quiz based on the words we've used throughout the year
Wednesday - Math Unit 8 test
Friday - End-of-Year Class Party (see below for details)
Schedule for the second grade party
It is getting close to the end of a very successful year for the second grade class. We would like to have a day of celebration on Friday afternoon (6/15) to congratulate all the second graders for accomplishing so much this year and working so hard all year long. It has been a truly wonderful class and I am glad to see every single student show how he/she had enjoyed learning.

June 4-8
It was nice to see so many parents here enjoying the children's art projects on Wednesday.
As the second grade class moves through June there is yet much more to learn and explore before the end of the year. Please help by ensuring your child comes to school ready to learn until the very last day of school.
In English class this week we took the Unit 9 quiz on Capitalization and Punctuation. Next week we will start Unit 10 and will be learning and writing about expressing an opinion. In Reading class we read the story called, "The School Mural" and next week we will read a story called, "Join the Circus". In Math class we took the chapter 21 quiz on adding 3-digit numbers and have started chapter 22, subtracting 3 digit numbers. Next week in Science we will start chapter 12 called Objects in Motion and will be learning how to use simple machines.
This week in Social Science we have been learning all about inventions and inventors. We researched a project where the students were to think up their own invention and write about it. We also researched real inventors and their inventions. Each student then chose one invention and did research about it. This will be the topic of next weeks class presentation afternoon which will be held on Friday (6/8) after lunch at 2:00 - 3:00pm.
* During this presentation I would like to invite the parents into the classroom to watch the students individually talk about the invention they researched.
Congratulations to Adrien for being this weeks student of the week. He has produced some wonderful art work for the art show this week.
