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

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.  

Here is the schedule for the party.
