2nd Grade Weekly Newsletter: February 17-20
Dear parents,
This week, during Social Studies, the students learned about
Chinese New Year traditions. Afterwards,
they created a Venn diagram, comparing and contrasting the Chinese holiday with
New Years celebrated in the United States.
During Science, the students learned about the effects of global warming
and climate change. They read a
Scholastic newsletter about scientists using Rover penguins to monitor the
Emperor penguin population, as well as how the climate change is affecting the
population of this species. The students
continued to review contractions and homophones in their Easy Grammar. They were assessed in both Wordly Wise and
Sitton Spelling. Finally, the class was
divided in half and participated in a debate on whether we should keep pennies
in our monetary system. Thank you and
have a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
Miss Miller
