May 31, 2011

Hi all,

Please notice the ABC Countdown under the second grade tab on the blog.
There are a couple of changes: 
R day will be "Ready to be part of the audience for a respect assembly" and the variety show will be for our class only, not the big show as in the past. More information will come home shortly.

 Last week we:

 - continued social studies Unit 9 How Do Communities Change?
 - read a story called Cool Ali and made chalk drawings with our reading buddies
 - continued Topic 11: Multiplication and Division Concepts. 
 - practiced being social detectives.
 - did more work with Superflex (super hero who represents flexible thinking) and  Rock Brain.
 - observed our caterpillars as they began laying eggs
 - made and filled kindness bags - I hope your child shared all the kind words they received.
 - heard some very funny jokes
 - tested our reading level, fluency, and accuracy with the DRA 2
 - tested our reading fluency and accuracy with DIBELS 

This week we'll:
 - read The Emperor's Egg - We'll also watch March of the Penguins
 - continue to be social detectives
 - learn more about Superflex and the Team of Unthinkables
 - continue social studies Unit 9 How Do Communities Change?
 - practice subtraction math facts 

 - finish Topic 11: Multiplication and Division Concepts and take the assessment
 - observe and release our butterflies

 - eat pizza together on Friday - please remember to send a drink and/or a lunch for your child  

Please let me know if you would like to help with field day on June 9th at 12:00 to 2:00. 

Please join us for our volunteer appreciation event on Thurs. June 2 from 2:00-2:55. 


Enjoy your week!
