2nd Grade Weekly Newsletter: February 23-27
Dear parents,
This week, during Social Studies, the students read about
Ruby Bridges, who made history by becoming the first African-American student
at her school in 1960. We discussed what
it means to be brave. Finally, the
students wrote a two paragraph essay on people who are brave in their
community, and as well as describe a time that they had to be brave. During Science, we explored marshmallows
using our five senses. Afterwards, as a
class, we wrote a sensory color poem.
Next week the students will compose their own sensory color poem to be
displayed in celebration of the upcoming Poetry Week. In our Easy Grammar, the students reviewed and
practiced using action and state-of-being verbs. The students were introduced the new
vocabulary words for Lesson 7 of Wordly Wise.
During US Math, the students were assessed on partitioning of shapes,
identifying fractions, and counting US money.
Thank you and have a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
Miss Miller
