Dear Families,
Please welcome the newest member of our class...Mrs. Claus!
She also goes by Cinnamon, Princess, and Nibbles. :)
We are all very excited to have her in class. She occasionally graces us with her presence when she comes out of her hut for a drink or a snack.
This week in reading we started a new unit entitled, Let's Create. Our stories this week were about kid musicians and dancers. It was very fitting considering our most recent performance. Hopefully your kiddo brought home a disk from Mrs. Casanova with pictures to remember the experience. If you haven't already seen our famous second graders displayed on the Beye School website then check out this article about their work in Art Start: OPEF
This week in the computer lab kids tried out some new spelling games located on the right hand side of the blog. Your kiddo should now know how to use Spelling City online to practice their spelling words. Try it out as an option to help your child practice their weekly words.
In writing we started a brand new unit on Fairy Tales. Ask your kiddo to tell you at least 4 features of fairy tales.
In math, we have been learning about different strategies for adding together 2-digit numbers. You'll see homework on these skills coming home next week.
Reminders:
*Photo retakes on Thursday
*Next Friday we head to the Naper Settlement
*Report cards come home Friday as well
Have a great weekend!
