Today in the second grade, we:

• sponsored our monthly mass (well done, class-especially to Julie who did the responsible psalm!)
• had our class picture taken
• some took their cursive license test, while those who had their licenses worked on their sharing time in language and spelling class
• practiced singing Christian music with Sister Heart
• continued to learn more about daytime and nighttime, making a comparison of the length of days on each of the eight planets in science class

Tonight's Homework:

• Complete Journeys Practice Book pg. 87-88.
• Complete the Think-Tac-Toe (in your child's language notebook.) The students are directed to choose three activities from the sheet. Please sign each activity they complete. All written work should be shown in your child's language notebook.
  The cartoon that the students were recommended to watch on the TTT is:
  Pete and Pete: Space, Geeks, and Johnny Unitas
   The astronaut clip that they can watch is:
  Chris Hadfield demonstrates how astronauts wash their hands
