Today in the second grade, we:

• took our weekly spelling quiz, reviewed this week's target vocabulary, and used adjectives that describe color, size, shape and number in language and spelling class
• visited the library to check out new books
• reviewed the key concepts from chapter 12 in preparation for tomorrow's quiz in math class
• compared and contrasted the properties of different states of water in science class
• learned about different settlements from Ms. Johnson in social studies class
• made sentences with this week's idiom: "Costs an Arm and a Leg"

 

Tonight's Homework:

• Make progress on the presentation board for the science fair. In your child's science fair folders, you will find:
  
  • Information on how to make a presentation board (all boards do not need to look the same, this is just an example.)
  • The science fair scoring sheet that will be used this year (apologies for the dark marks; our school's printer is being fixed.)
  The presentation boards will be due on Thursday, April 21st, so the students have a week to practice presenting in from of others. I can also help assist in adding finishing touches. 
• Read aloud for 15 minutes and have a parent sign your reading log. 
• Prepare for tomorrow's math quiz on chapter 12.  
• Finish writing your spelling mistakes five times (if you have mistakes.)

Announcements:

• Your child brought home their spelling tablet. Please sign it and send it back tomorrow.
• The spelling words for next Monday's spelling quiz (April 11th) will come from Phonics unit 4.
