Today in the second grade, we:

• previewed next week's spelling words, listened to and discussed "All in the Family" from Journeys, and practiced adding details to our writing in reading and phonics class
• focused on the subject, or naming parts of sentences, and continued our unit on handwriting in language and spelling class
• worked with today's number (7), took our unit 1, chapter 1 quiz in math, and previewed our next unit on addition in math class
• reviewed the eight inquiry skills and practiced measuring various objects using rulers and measuring cups in science class
• practiced our class song and poem, and practiced borrowing books from the class library during ECA 

The G2 students are working hard on having lovely printing.

Tonight's Homework:

Complete Social Studies Activity Book pg. 4-5.

Special Notes:

• Tomorrow the students will have P.E., so they should come dressed in their P.E. uniform, with a spare DISK approved P.E. shirt to change into after class. The students have had P.E. on some particularly sunny days, so I welcome you to send a cap along with your children that they can wear during P.E. class in order to provide protection from the sun. Thank you!

• We will begin our dance class next Friday, September 4th after P.E. class! The teachers of DISK have worked hard to coordinate this dance class, as we firmly believe in the benefit that dance brings to the students in terms of coordination, agility, balance, and teamwork. Because dance will be scheduled during math class on Friday, we will have a double math period on Thursdays.

• The school will be spraying for mosquitoes this Friday, August 28th at 4:00 due to the recent outbreak of dengue fever. Please pick up your child promptly this Friday, as the company wishes to start spraying the grounds at 4:00. Thank you!
