News From Second Grade - 10/14/16
Dear Parents,
It has been another busy short week here in second grade! Here are some of the highlights…
Spelling - Spelling Test for Week 4 happened today. Next week we will be back on track with Week 5 Spelling Homework (oa says long o) and test on 10/21.
Reading Logs should have been returned today as well. A new log will come home on Monday.
Science -We had a special presentation by the Appalachian Mountain Club this week! The presenters did a super job! The children played games and learned about adaptations by examining animal skulls and brownie “scat”. Lots of fun!
Ron Fournier, from Bryant Pond 4-H and Orion Outfitters and Guide Service, came as well to share his extensive knowledge with our eager learners. Awesome!
Social Studies - Second graders were excited to meet with the Firemen on Thursday afternoon to talk about fire prevention and safety. Please plan and practice home escape plans and change the batteries in your smoke detectors!!! If you do not have a smoke detector the fire department will give you one at no cost. Preparedness saves lives!!!!
Writing - This week students had some fun writing about what it might be like for them when they are 100 years old. So fun to see what everyone came up with! We also took everyone’s picture with an app that made them look old. The expressions on the faces when they saw themselves with wrinkles was priceless!!! They shared these books and photos with grandparents today. :-)
Grandparent’s Day - It was so nice to see all the many grandparents and special friends that came to visit us this morning! We had a special song that we sang and many fun activities that focused on spiders. We listened to a story on the smartboard called Sophie’s Masterpiece by Eileen Spinelli and then compared the characters of Sophie and Charlotte from Charlotte’s Web. We even make spider headbands!!!
Enjoy your weekend!!
Sincerely,
The Second Grade Teachers
