Hi all,
Sorry if I created confusion in the spelling last week and this week. They are review weeks so we just had a little fun with our words. We have been looking at words that sound the same but are spelled differently. Next week we will be back to the regular routine. Also this week they have had a little break from homework. Every so often families need a break. Several students have been out with strep throat and colds, including me. Just can't seem to get rid of it!
Next week we will be studying and reading about owls. Then the first two weeks in February we will be talking about presidents. We are looking at the properties of liquids in science and working on Unit 6 in math. The introduction to Unit 6 came home last week. We need glue sticks, pencils, kleenex and disinfecting wipes. Thanks.
All is well here in 2-1 and I hope all is well with you too! Have a great weekend everyone.

Welcome back!

School has started and the cold days seem to get colder. We have started learning about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and we are working on social study skills, mapping, time lines and graphs. We will soon start the new science kit, Solids and Liquids.
We have started unit 5 in math. The overview of the unit was sent home on Monday. We are back to the regular homework routine. Remember to sign the reading logs even if the book is not finished. Stay warm!
