Week of April 10, 2017
Dear Parents:
It was a fabulous week in second grade. Several items went home in your Friday folder that need attention. You will see the third nine weeks report card. Please keep the report card, sign the envelope, and return the envelop. There is also a half sheet of yellow paper that is your enrollment form for next year. Please complete and return the form even if you student will not be returning to Spicewood. There is no school this coming Friday, April 14. We will have library on Thursday instead. Please send library books in on Thursday. The next baggie book turn in will be Monday, April 17.
In the classroom:
Social studies/science:
We have been learning about advertisements and the techniques advertisers use. Students used Piktochart to create an advertisement for the book Lemonade Wars as a practice. This week students will create an advertisement for the products they will sell at Market Day. Students will have the choice of creating it on the computer or on paper.
Math:
We have finished up our unit on money and financial literacy. Students have learned a great deal about wise saving, borrowing, and lending. We will begin a look at three digit addition and subtraction next.
Writing:
We have been learning how to write a persuasive statement including the opinion, reasons, and examples. Students wrote a persuasive statement to answer a question from a book we read. Should the boy squish the ant or not?
Reading:
We have been learning about author's purpose: to inform, persuade, or entertain. Students have been listening to stories and deciding the author's purpose and providing evidence from the text.
Word Work
patter for next week is : Consonant Digraphs-Plus r blends (thr, shr) and squ
through, three, thrill, threat, shred, shriek, shrunk, square, squint, squirt
PE: students are working on simple gymnastics skills; like the roll
Music: students made musical flutes
Art: students are working on paper mache.
Secret word: wise lending
Have a wonderful weekend,
Ms. Hansen
