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.
