May 29, 2016


I hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend! We are officially in the “home stretch” of our journey together! There are so many fun and exciting events and activities as the end of the year quickly approaches! I look forward to our final weeks together in second grade! 

Our Class Play! 
The children did a phenomenal job this week presenting our class play! I couldn’t be more proud of the effort and enthusiasm put forth by each child! Thank you so much for all of your support! 





Spelling
Due to the short week, we will not be learning a new spelling rule this week and will not be taking a spelling test on Friday! Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions! :)

Field Trip 
If your child has not yet returned their permission slip for our field trip please do so ASAP to ensure that your child will be able to participate! If you have any concerns about the cost of the trip please do not hesitate to contact me! Thank you! 












Field Day! 
This year Field Day is scheduled for Friday, June 3rd! Instead of wearing blue, orange and gray, this year each classroom will represent a different country in honor of the upcoming Olympic Games! Room 118 will be representing Poland! The Polish flag colors are red and white! Our class is invited to show their spirit by wearing these colors! 

This week we read the piece, Red, White and Blue and learned all about the history of the American Flag! Through a Scholastic News article we also discussed the history of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution! Ask your child what they learned this week about these very important topics!


T-Shirt Book Report! 
We will be completing a T-shirt book report in school! If possible, children are asked to bring in a plain, white or light colored t-shirt that they can decorate for this very special project! We will be decorating on Friday, June 10th so if children could bring in their shirts before then that would be fantastic! We are also looking for donations of Sharpies or fabric markers that we could use for this activity! Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions! Thank you so much in advance for your help with this exciting project! 

After learning about diagrams in Literacy, we created our very own baseball diagrams!

Math 
In math this week we will finish our topic on measurement by adding and subtracting in measurement and comparing lengths! Next week we will begin our final math topic which will focus on time, graphs and data! 


Measuring Fun!
