Friday, February 7,\n2020 Mrs. Ballnik\u2019s Classroom News     My\nemail is <\/strong>ballnic@dearbornschools.org<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Field Trips- There are two field trips this year.  Mrs. Herrod and I go on field trips\ntogether.  One field trip is the same\nthroughout Dearborn.  Second Grades go to\nthe Dearborn Historical Museum (more information will come later).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank-you for sending in the field trip permission slips and the\n$5.00.  There were 3 requests to be\nchaperones and we can have  4, so\nthank-you for volunteering to go with us to the Cranbrook science museum.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important Dates \u2013Winter break- Feb. 17 \u2013 21<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On February 14, feel free to send in homemade or store-bought\nvalentines.  There are 22 students.  This is such a nice holiday that celebrates\ngiving to others.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Math help- <\/strong>Try this Eureka math help and games to make your child a top math\nstudent- <\/strong>https:\/\/bit.ly\/35QeXMc<\/strong><\/a>     It is also on my BLOG.   I am starting to call home when there is too\nmuch homework missing.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SCIENCE – <\/strong>We are learning about bodies of water and landforms (earth\nscience) in our unit.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SPELLING WORDS FOR NEXT WEEK ARE contractions.   Please continue to point out the\npattern of the spelling words each week and help your child discover words with\nthese patterns in their reading.  Soon, your\nchild will be pointing these out to you, if they do not already.  A good idea is to get a blank notebook and\nkeep a list.  Send them in for extra\ncredit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\ncontractions to study are: aren\u2019t, can\u2019t, couldn\u2019t, doesn\u2019t, hadn\u2019t, haven\u2019t,\nhe\u2019ll, I\u2019ll, it\u2019ll, let\u2019s,  there\u2019s,  we\u2019ll, \nwho\u2019s, wasn\u2019t, you\u2019ll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Social Studies<\/strong>– We have started our new unit, How Do\nCitizens Live Together in a Community? \nIt covers diversity and also government. \nAsk your child if they know what diversity is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the question \u201cWhy do we form governments?\u201d is being\nexplored.  Basically, the answers are to\nbe safe, to make laws and to solve people\u2019s problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 We will take the WIDA\nEnglish test for writing next week.   WIDA testing is for those that take the\nEnglish Test.   Encourage your child to\ndo well and they can test out of it. \nThere are 2 students that do not have to take it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank-you for making sure that your child reads with you at\nhome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
