We had a busy week with two field trips! The trip to MMC was interesting and informative for the kids. It was kind of rushed, but they have other second grade classes to get through, too.
I think the demonstration of how much sugar there is in different foods made an impression on them. It was amazing!
Court Manor was fun for us. They played "musical hat", tossed chickens in the hat, and played make a basket with a ball. I didn't take my camera as they don't allow pictures with the residents due to privacy issues.
Tomorrow Ms. Betzold is having Gene Aina come in to talk about Hawaii. The kids have been learning about the culture and music, so this will be a great treat to hear from Gene!
Next week, the story will be "The School Mural". The new words are: neighbor, below, should. The spelling words are on page 243 in the student handbook. They are: liked, hoping, baked, using, chased, making, closed, hiding, named, riding. The Challenge Words are: teasing, decided. Phonics will go along with these words with using -ed and -ing endings.
We will continue with subtraction in Math. PLEASE practice the facts with your child EACH night.
I am receiving very few reading calendars, both on Fridays and at the end of the month. I do count the reading as a grade, so please have your child read the 20 min. each night and sign the calendar. These need to be turned in on Fridays. Thanks!
Have a good evening!
