We are in the home stretch with \u00a0new units in science and social studies, \u00a0NWEA in a couple of weeks, and Spring fairy tale plays.<\/p>\n

We are starting our plant unit in science. We will study the parts of the plants, the needs of plants, and plan some experiments. It should be fun!<\/p>\n

It is all about economics in social studies. Our field trip in May to the Jiffy Mix factory should tie in nicely to this unit.<\/p>\n

This weeks spelling words have endings of ge, dge, rge, nge, and lge.<\/p>\n

Pattern words – cage, rage, indulge, bulge, range, hinge, pledge, bridge, large, charge<\/p>\n

Sight words – was, with, sitting, went, running<\/p>\n

Bonus words – comprehension, accuracy, fluency, vocabulary, information<\/p>\n

We had a special treat for second grade only. We were visited by a flute player from the Dearborn Symphony. He played the flute while one of our district music teachers read the story The Flute Player<\/span>. It was a wonderful experience for the children!<\/p>\n

The Peter Cotton Tail play at the Marquis Theater was a lot of fun! It was great to see a live performance with singing and dancing! Here are a couple of pictures of our exciting trip.<\/p>\n

When we returned to school after the play we had a talent show. The kids had a good time singing with their friends on our stage.<\/p>\n
