Dear Families,
Thanks for supporting your 2nd graders at home with their book report projects. They look amazing! We took some time this morning to have the students share their projects with each other.
This week in science we've continued our study of rocks and minerals. Students took apart a "cookie rock" to find the minerals inside. They also learned about weathering and erosion and the rock cycle. Next week we continue to learn about the different categories for rocks.
Learning about dinosaurs has been particularly exciting for the class this week. Next week we dive into researching students' specific dinosaurs. Kids will read books and internet resources and practice taking notes for their reports.
MAPS testing began again this week. Students took the reading portion on Thursday morning and will take the math test next Thursday. They all did an amazing job focusing and trying their best.
Thanks for completing the conference sign-up sheets. I hope to have a schedule set and times sent home on Monday.
Have a great weekend!
