Happy Sunday Families!
Wow! What a beautiful weather weekend! I hope you've found a way to get outside and enjoy yourselves :) With just over 20 school days left this year, time seems to be flying in Room 112! The students are beginning to think of themselves as 'almost third graders' and the nearness and excitement of summer vacation is palpable. With that being said, we've still got some learning and fun activities left to accomplish. This past week in 2nd.... Math: In Math this week, students continued their work with measurement, shifting the focus to comparing lengths. Students practiced identifying lengths and using subtraction and a strategy called a 'bar model' to solve for the difference in the two lengths. I was impressed with how quickly they grasped the concept! We will spend just about 1-2 more weeks on Measurement before closing out the year with several lessons on Geometry and Arrays. Reading: We concluded our Series Book Club unit and have moved on to introducing Poetry. Poetry is our next Writing unit but it felt only logical to practice reading poetry before attempting to write our own! Students practiced hearing the rhythm of a poem and looking to understand what the author might have meant by his words. Looking ahead.... -Warmer Temps: With warmer temperatures upon us, please ensure your child is traveling to school each day with a water bottle! Additionally, our room is not conveniently located near a bubbler, so it may be helpful to send in two, if you're able! Thanks for your help with this. -1/2 Day Professional Development Day for teachers this Wednesday May 19. -Monday, May 31-Memorial Day NO SCHOOL Enjoy the rest of your weekends!

Hello Families,
I hope you're all enjoying your weekend! Spring is officially upon us! This is my favorite time of year as a teacher. As a class, we've locked into our groove and know each other and our routines so well. I'm enjoying every minute :) Additionally, we welcomed a new friend, Julianne, from the 2nd Grade Remote Class. We're so happy to have her! This past week in 2nd....
Reminders! Chromebooks: Please remind your child to plug their computer in each night to charge to ensure full usage during the school day! May 19: Staff Professional Development--1/2 Day for Students May 31: Memorial Day NO SCHOOL |
