May 20-24

Good day to all second grade class blog followers. A big sigh of
relieve as we finished the Iowa tests today. First of all I would like
to say "well done" to all the students for trying their best.We will
have the results before the school year comes to a close.

Next week we will get back to the regular class routines.

In Math we will continue with Chapter 17 Length and finish that
chapter on Thursday by having a quiz. On Friday we will start chapter
18 Weight, Capacity and Temperature. We will practice using measuring
unit such as cups, pints, quarts and gallons.

For Science we will continue with Chapter 11 Making Sound. We will
look at how sound travels and learn about about pitch and volume. I
might be bringing in my ear plugs for these lessons.

In Reading class we will focus on chapter books and read The Cool
Crazy Crickets. If you would like your child to have a CD with all the
stories in the next theme on it please ask them to ask me for a copy
or write me a note asking to send a CD home with them.

For English we will continue with Unit 9 More Capitalization and Punctuation.

Congratulations to Shunta Toyama for being this week's Student of the
Week! Shunta is a cooperative student who works well with his
classmates. Keep up with the good attitude!
