May 21, 2017

Happy Sunday everyone! Things sure are getting busy around Room 118 with the end of the school year quickly approaching! I look forward to another fun and exciting week together!

This week we finished our unit on Butterflies and said goodbye to our fluttering friends who we released into the wild! 



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 9th 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!


Literacy 
This week in Literacy we will be reading the story, A Birthday Basket for Tia by Pat Mora. Through reading this story we will discuss the weekly question, “Why are family celebrations special?” This week we will also be reviewing the genre of Realistic Fiction and will be reading and spelling words with syllables -tion and -ture. We will apply context clues while reading as well as explore the comprehension skills of drawing conclusions and summarizing. 

Math
It's hard to believe that we have finished all of our second grade math topics for the year! For the final few weeks we will be reviewing some of the trickier second grade math skills, participating in problem solving activities and previewing some of the concepts that the children will learn in third grade!
