YIKES! It's windy out there!
REMINDER: CLASS PICTURE DAY IS THIS COMING TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22ND. OUR TIME SLOT IS AT 9:00.
The students are in the process of completing their persuasive paragraphs in response to the "Cartoon Ban" article in the Kids Post from the Washington Post. If you would like to have your child's article sent to the Washington Post, I can email you an electronic copy of their work, along with the address to send it to. Maybe one of our student's responses will be published!
Students have started the process of creating their Second Grade Writing Anthologies. Each student is able to design the cover of his/her book, and compile all the various writing pieces completed throughout the year. Towards the end of the school year, we will be having an "Author's Tea" to give the students the opportunity to share their work with their parents and peers. The students take such pride in presenting their work, and it's a great keepsake!
We have wrapped up our unit on data and probabity and will be moving on to multiplication this week! The students have been so eager to learn more about this mathematical concept, I'm very excited to get the ball rolling.
Coming home on Tuesday will be a half-sheet sign up for Parent-Teacher conferences. These conferences are optional the second time around, but most certainly encouraged should you have any concerns. Please have these half-sheets returned by Monday, February 28th.
I hope you all enjoy the three day weekend!
