April 7-18

The second grade class enjoyed a week full of learning. It was very nice to meet and talk with so many of the parents this week.

In Math class this week we completed Topic 15, Time and Temperature and started Topic 16, Graphs and Probability. Next week we will continue with this topic.

For English class this week we concluded Unit 7, Adjectives. The next topic will be Capitalization and Punctuation.

In Reading this week we read a story about brothers and sisters. Next week we will continue with our family theme by reading a story called Jalapeno Bagels.

For Science, the students have been busy preparing for the upcoming Science Fair. We conducted many experiments this week. Next week will we prepare to present our findings at the Science Fair on April 22nd. Parents are welcome to come in and observe and be a part of it.

In Social Studies this week we continued learning about Native Americans and how America gained it's freedom. Next week we will continue with this topic.

Congratulations to Yebin Kim for being the Student of the Week! Yebin always volunteers to answer questions in class and asks when she is unsure of the answer. Keep it up!
