New spelling words have been sent home today. Remember to continue sending in your donations for the Marathon. Be sure to create a site online. It is amazing what you can collect with the ease of online donating not to mention people that want to donate that we may not think to ask! We have received a very generous offer from a family that would like to purchase a consumable personal for each student in 2nd grade for the sacramental preparations Blessed program. More information to follow on that soon!
Please remember to send headphones to school for your child. If you are not sure if he/she has them, please don't be afraid to ask! We will hopefully start MAPS testing next week. We were unable to test this week due to technical difficulties with the testing program.
Picture day has been rescheduled for Tuesday, October 3rd!
Subjects
Math: This week the second graders worked on looking for patterns on a number grid and calculator.
Language Arts: Students decoded words with the short e, o, and u. They read a story titled, "Mr. Putter and Tabby Pour the Tea." Students worked on identifying the plot (beginning, middle, end) in the story.
Grammar: Students learned that sentences that tell someone to do something are called commands and end with a period. Sentences that show strong feelings are called exclamations and end with an exclamation mark. All sentences start with a capital letter.
Religion: 2nd graders started Chapter Two and will finish next week. Students learned that Jesus calls us all to be disciples. We also read the parable that teaches us that Jesus is the vine and we are the branches. If we live in Jesus, we can live and do many good things.
Social: We learned that we are all citizens that live in a community. As citizens we have rights and responsibilities. We also learned that following laws help to keep us safe.
Science: We started our unit titled "Pebbles, sand and silt." We observed 3 different rocks. We rubbed rocks together and observed tiny pieces of rock that broke off. Second graders learned that this is called weathering. then. we placed rocks in water, and observed the visual differences of wet and dry rocks. We wrote all of this data down in our Science notebooks!
