The children are working hard for their upcoming PTA performance next Thursday evening. Today they had their first joint practice with the third graders. I hope you have the date, March 10 at 7:00 P.M., marked on your calendars and are looking forward to a great performance. If you haven’t already done so, please return the blue slip stating whether or not your child will be participating in the performance. As a reminder, we would like the second graders to wear white shirts and jeans.
In math, we are wrapping up measurement and have begun working on three-digit addition and subtraction with and without regrouping. Most of the children are more comfortable with addition than subtraction, but they need review with both skills. Knowing their basic facts is crucial during this unit. I recommend that they spend some time each day reviewing these facts, particularly subtraction.
In our science unit, we learned about how the Earth’s orbit around the sun and its tilt causes the seasons. We also talked about how Earth’s rotation causes day and night. We are working on a factual flip book about the sun, moon, stars, and Earth.
Mrs. Morris’s classroom guidance lesson this week focused on honesty. The children watched a short video clip and discussed the importance of being honest.
Will was our Citizen of the Week. The class enjoyed seeing his poster, trophies, medals, and other treasures. Maddie and Christopher presented the weather on TRNN this morning. They did an excellent job. Way to go!!
Have a great weekend!
