I hope to see you on Wednesday, virtually, for our last meeting. We are going to do a Scavenger Hunt, so get ready!!

Have a safe and wonderful summer vacation.

Hello! I hope you had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed the amazing weather. I sure did. I enjoyed time with my family, riding my bike, walking my dogs and working in my yard.

It’s hard to believe we only have 12 1/2 days of school remaining. I know it will be difficult to keep doing your classwork, but I want to make sure you are ready for 3rd grade. We will meet again on Wednesday to discuss our new books that are posted in Google Classroom. Just follow the video below to meet with us. See you there.

Hi there Haigh Families,

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Thank you so much for completing your work and submitting it to my email. Please continue to complete these lessons and take pictures and send to my email at: nardond@deabrornschools.org

Story elements are very important elements of all fiction stories. The elements include the characters, setting, problem and solution, as well as being able to sequence the main events of the story. These events should include: first, next, then, after that, and last. I also included a fun “Roll & Retell” game that you can use with any fiction book. Simply print it and use a dice or make your own number spinner. (paper and paper clip)

Asking and answering questions about the text/passage that we are reading helps us to deepen our understanding of the text. Asking WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, WHY and HOW makes us better readers and demonstrates our understanding of key details in the text. You will need to reread the passage and then answer the questions by color coding the evidence. Please share your answers by printing the passage below and taking a photo of your answers and sending it to my email: nardond@dearbornschools.org I will provide feedback to you.
