Second grade students will have the opportunity to make birdhouses on December 10. They will need to bring $3.50 to help cover the cost of materials.
In spelling, we’re still working on the same grouping of words (words with the long I and short I sound).
In math we are continuing to work on telling time and determining what time it will be in 10, 15, 30 min. etc. and what time it was 10, 15, 30, etc. minutes ago. Students are also working on different strategies to add and subtract 2, 3, or more 2- digit numbers.
We’re finishing up our water cycle unit (including the clouds) this week, and our health unit on the brain. We’ll be learning about the first Thanksgiving this week.
Our goal this year at Forest Ridge is to improve students’ writing. Family writing for this week: Write about one, two, or three things you are thankful for. Each one you write about should be a complete paragraph with topic sentence, at least 3 details and a concluding sentence. Writing together encourages your child to see you having fun with writing, and allows you an opportunity to spend time with your child while he/she learns. Please have your child bring the writing in by Friday.
Be sure to confirm the conference time that’s been given to you. Please let me know if you aren’t able to make it, so I can try to reschedule at time during conference week for you.
Take home folders (with reading logs attached) need to be turned in on Thursday instead of Friday. Then students can bring home “Thursday Thoughts” and other papers in their folders.
Next week is conference week and Thanksgiving. Enjoy your time with your family!
