The second grade class is thankful for all the parents who brought in food to share this week.  What a great feast we all had on Thursday!

Grade 2 been busy with their animal research projects for the science class. Next week we will be making a poster and the students will present their animal to the class on Friday afternoon . This will also conclude the chapter of study on Animals. 

In Math, we have been learning many new vocabulary words for shapes. There have been so many new words that we have constructed our own Math Dictionary Book to keep track of them all. Next week we will continue with Chapter 7. 

In Reading this week we started a new unit "Neighborhoods" and read a story "China Town". Speaking of reading, December 3-7 will be Literacy Week for H.I.S. We have many things planned for this week including the Spelling Bee (word list will be handed out soon) on Friday and a competition in the second grade class for the best book report poster. More information to come on these next week.

In English, the students completed the unit of study on Nouns and Pronouns and next week we will start Unit 4 when the students will be writing their own story. 

Congratulations to Abigail Kang for being this week's Student of the Week. Abigail is always excited to learn and makes a strong effort with her classwork. Keep it up!
