Week of December 8, 2014
Dear Parents,
It is hard to believe, but our first semester is almost at a close. I sent home notices in the Friday folder if your child was receiving principals' pride on Monday, December 15. Please make sure to sign and return the folder every Monday. Our winter holiday party will be Thursday, December 18. Second grade teachers will be sending home a letter in the Friday folder this week to give you details about the party. Please help Mrs. Norman by signing up on her volunteer sheet. Thank you!!! Our class will be participating in the hour of code this week on Wednesday. Don't forget students do not have school on December 19.
IB tidbit:
Did you know that all IB PYP schools around the world organize their curriculum in the same six transdisciplinary themes which include: Who We Are, Sharing the Planet, How we Express Ourselves, How the World Works, Where We are in Place and Time, and How we Organize Ourselves.
In science/social studies:
We have been working hard to learn research skills and apply these to our summative project for Sharing the Planet. Students have applied their research and created webs in Google draw.
We will begin our study of matter with the question "What physical properties are used to classify matter?"
In math:
We are continuing with problem solving. I am encouraging the students to set goals with their problem solving and reflecting on their progress. After the review, students are encouraged to continue working on that goal or set a new goal. We are continuing with our study of three digit place value.
In reading and writing,
Students are working on an independent inquiry project. Students have chosen a holiday to learn about and make a presentation to the class about what they learned.
Our next unit of inquiry will be How We Express Ourselves.
Please remember to check the Friday folder, the Friday efolder, and the principal's update to stay up with the latest school information.
Have a wonderful week,
Ms. Hansen
