Late Start this Wednesday. School begins at 9:35

Yay for beautiful weather 🙂   Please do not have your child wear shorts until Dr. Moughni makes the announcement.

Spelling words this week are contractions: didn’t, wouldn’t, they’ve, she’ll, he’s. The Dolch words are: don’t, never, warm, keep, myself

Please send in a fruit with a seed inside for Science Wednesday. Thanks. We’ll be looking at a variety of seeds and the fruits/plants they come from.

We’ll be making timelines this week in Social Studies. That will be the homework tonight. You’ll see the directions to draw 1 important life event in each square. We’ll assemble them in class Tuesday.

We’re continuing with making arrays in math and writing the repeated addition problem that matches. This leads up to multiplication which is taught in 3rd grade.

We’ll continue informational reading including the asking and answering of questions from the text.

I hope your child has told you about the animal they’re learning about for writing. They each got to pick an animal from a set of books I had gathered. We’ll be using these next weeks to read and write facts we’ve learned. If they can get more facts at home via the computer, that would be great as well. Have them bring them in as long as it’s something they can read and understand. I usually do a google search for the topic name and add in “for children”. Such as: zebra facts for children. That will get you to something that is more at their reading level.

Enjoy your week!
