Wow! We have had a busy week, but it has been a fun week for sure! It seems that the weather has taken a nice turn away from the storms and cooler weather!
Mark Your Calendars for Our End of the Year Lunch Bunch!!!
We cannot believe that the end
of your child's second grade year is literally right around the corner!
We have thoroughly enjoyed teaching your child this year! As an end
of the year celebration we will be having a lunch bunch. This is a time
for parents to come in and enjoy lunch with your child, and fingers crossed
that the weather will hold out & we can eat outside! We would love
for you to join us on Wednesday, May 24 to eat lunch with your child. You
may choose to buy lunch from the cafeteria, bring a lunch from home, or pick up
lunch from a restaurant for your child. We will be sending home a sheet
for you to let us know if you will be coming and if you or your child will be
buying a lunch from the cafeteria that day.
This week we have had a lot
of different fun activities happening!
- On Tuesday, we went on
our Runge Nature Center field trip. We really appreciate ALL the
parent chaperones who were able to attend!! This allowed many small
groups to be able to go at their own pace on the different trails around
Runge. We enjoyed a presentation on Food Chains before lunch.
Then, after lunch, we explored inside the center. We had a
scavenger hunt to complete both on the trail and inside. Fun was had
by ALL!!! :) You can look at
all the pictures here.
- Today, we had our Which
is Better Project Presentation. It was so wonderful to see so many
parents, grandparents, etc. with us this morning! We are so proud of
all the students and their hard work on their projects. After
parents left, we had first grade and other second grade visitors to our
presentation. Mrs. Reynolds, Ms. Ragsdale, and Ms. Holt were so
impressed with how far our second graders have grown as writers! You can check
out pictures from today here.
- Today, was Ms.
Hackmann's last day. We enjoyed a pizza party to celebrate her last
day, and gave her a tote full of teaching supplies, and books from the
donations that you gave. The students also made her a book of advice
for her first year of teaching - which turned out super cute! She will
be truly missed by the students and by the teachers, and we know she will
go on to great things!
What's Happening Next Week:
- In math, we will
continue to work on turning information gathered from survey questions
into pictographs, and both vertical and horizontal bar graphs. We
will also be tracking the temperature in the morning and at recess to make
a double line graph.
- In reading, we will be
comparing information learned in two different nonfiction sources.
We will continue to work on reviewing different things that we have
learned in grammar (compound words, adjectives, etc.).
- Next week will be our
last week of word study. We are finishing up r controlled vowels
with ur words. Next week's words are: burn, purse, cure, sure,
nurse, lurch, pure, splurge, blurt, and purple.
- In writing, we will be
generating a list of topics to write for our big final writing piece of
the school year. The students have a choice of writing about summer.
This could be a personal narrative, a fiction story, or an
informational book.
