Good day blog followers.


Congratulations to all the students for producing such wonderful art
work. The display looked really nice. The children will be
taking home all their art before the end of the year so if you
were not able to come in to see it you will be able to enjoy it at
home.

possible. Regular homeroom classes will take place next week, but we
will not have specialty classes on Tuesday and Wednesday.

chapter 20 Numbers Through 10,000. (Chapter 19 we already completed
prior to the Iowa tests)

which will include famous people, buildings, landscapes and other
interesting facts about Taiwan.

Good day once more to all the Second Grade Blog followers. It's been a
busy week for the second grade class. This week we have been collecting all
of our Art we did during the school year as well as finishing up prior
art projects in preparation for the Art Show next Tuesday (5/28).
Parents are welcome to come to the library next Tuesday and enjoy all
the Artworks displayed in the library. You may come into school at
any time during the day however our class will be viewing the
art from 10:00 to 10:40 AM. If you would like to view it with your child
please come in during that time. 

We have also been busy with our core subjects this week. In Math we
completed the unit of study on length and started the next chapter on
Weight, Capacity and Temperature. The students really enjoyed
measuring, combining, pouring and spilling water to better understand
the unit of measurement.

For English we have been continuing the unit of study on
Capitalization and Punctuation.

In Science we continued learning about sound. Next week we will
complete this chapter, take a quiz and start a Social Studies unit
where we focus on Taiwan.

This week in Reading we read a chapter story and looked at the
problem and solution of each chapter as well as how the chapters work
together to make a book. Next week we will read the story "The Art
Lesson".

Congratulations to Maria Takahara for being this week's Student of the
