2nd Grade Weekly Newsletter: March 23-27
Dear parents,
This week, the students read chapters 3 and 4 in Knight
at Dawn and discussed aspects of medieval times. During Easy Grammar, the students reviewed verb
phrases, helping verbs, and irregular verbs. In Wordly Wise, the students were
assessed on Lesson 8. During Spelling,
the students tried to make as many words out of the word, “Spring Equinox”. For US Math, the students practiced word
problems involving three-digit subtraction with regrouping, as well as telling
time to the nearest five minutes. The students
played telling time bingo, where they had to use the appropriate vocabulary
during recall (for example, “quarter to, half past, etc”). In Science, the students learned about ocean
thermohalene currents. Next, they participated
in a science experiment observing how temperature and salinity affect water density,
as well as how ocean currents are influenced by changes in water density.
Thank you and have a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
Miss Miller
