We had a fun, busy week! We celebrated
college week with all sorts of activities.
On Career Day, we got to hear from a forensic scientist, a doctor, a
computer programmer, and a graphic designer.
The
computer programmer gave us the link to the programs he explained to us. The kids were excited to try it at home. Here it is: http://mjgyesme.github.io
We
ended the week with our traditional College Week assembly. Our second-graders were from Second-Grade Seals
University. Ask your child to show you
our cheer!
Sadie
got to represent second grade in a dance-off.
She did an awesome job!
We
finished our math unit on geometry and will be starting our money unit after
spring break. The more your child is exposed
to money at home, the easier this unit will be.
There are some fun educational money games on our blog that the kids can
do over the break.
Please
have your child continue to read over spring break. Our April reading calendars were not handed
out, so please keep track of minutes read.
The break is also a great time to work on Reflex Math. Our goal is to be 100% fluent in math facts
by May 5. We have some students who are
getting close!
We
had a fantastic time on our field trip!
Our groups got to explore the museum and see many things we had studied
in class like rocks, erosion, plants, and weather. There was a traveling exhibit with geckos,
which we all loved seeing. Thank you to
all our parent volunteers who helped out that day!
We
have been collecting pretend money for good behavior in class, and I’m planning to do a
class store soon. If you are able to
help with the store on a Friday or donate any items for the store, please send
me an email.
We’ve
been practicing for our second-grade performance of the Ugly Duckling. The students are doing well learning their
lines, songs, and dances. As a reminder,
the parent performance is Thursday, April 14 at 2:00.
We’ll
have our Fun Run assembly the day we come back from spring break. The Fun Run will be Thursday, April 21.
Please
let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks for all you do!
