The 2nd Grade is full of Enthusiasm!

This week the 2nd graders were very enthusiastic, especially about the music scavenger hunt. Please enjoy the pictures of that below.   

On 1st of May, the first, second and third grade will take an all-day field trip to Flying Cow Ranch. Here is the website: www.flyingcow.com.tw  We are planning two DIY activities, including making ice cream and painting.  More information on this to come. 

In Reading class we read a non-fiction and fiction story about dinosaurs.  Next week we will read and discuss three biographies. These are biographies of Ellen Ochoa, Theodore Roosevelt and Wilma Rudolph. 

For Math class we have been working on Chapter 15 Counting Money. Next week we will shift gears and start Chapter 16, Time and Calendar. 

The Science Fair is fast approaching and preparations are well under way. The students have chosen 4 Science Projects and we have been preparing for them discussing the scientific questions, hypothesis, procedure, materials, results and prior knowledge. The students will present their projects on April 24th from 11:00 - 11:45. Parents are welcome to come in to observe these presentations.

In English class we have focused on writing instructions. I look forward to recording each student's work and posting it on my blog for all to enjoy. 

In Social Studies next week we will start Unit 6, People in the Marketplace, where we will look at producers and consumers. 

Congratulations to Taichi Nishiwaki for being this week's Student of the Week! Taichi is consistently thinking about what he should be doing in class to be responsible and cooperative with his classmates. Keep it up!
