November 18-29

Welcome to another glimpse into the second grade class. What a nice week we had! The kids did a wonderful job bringing coins and clothes in for the fundraiser to help victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. Thank you for all that support. Our class has had a direct effect helping the people who lost everything.

We had a learning-filled week which was capped off by the students' presentations on the animal they researched. I was very impressed by how well their first major presentation went. Please enjoy the photos of this below. Well done!

Next week we have many events scheduled. On Wednesday we will be going on a field trip. Students should bring a backpack with their water bottle and appropriate clothes for being outdoors. They may also bring a snack if they wish. Lunch and a drink will be provided by the school if your child eats the school lunch.

Thursday will be the Thanksgiving Potluck Lunch at 12:30 in the cafeteria. Parents may bring their dish down to the cafeteria at 12:30 to set up and the second graders will be down shortly after that.

Friday is the school assembly. As always you are welcome to come in for that.

In Math this week we completed topic 7, Mental Subtraction, and started topic 8, Two Digit Subtraction. Next week we will continue with this.


In English we continued with Unit 3, Nouns and Pronouns and next week we will review this unit.

In Reading class we read and learned about Fables. Next week we will start Theme 3 and read a story called Chinatown.

In Science we will continue our unit on Animal Life Cycles and will learn about the life cycle of a silk worm on our field trip.

In Social Studies we continued with Chapter 2, The World Around Us and next week we will continue with this.

Congratulations to Yu Shimono for being this week's Student of the Week. Yu was very brave during her presentation on Thursday and always gets along well with her classmates. Keep up the good effort!
