Welcome Back!

We're back into full swing in the classroom. This week we will finish the unit on Asia. It has been fun learning about China, Japan and Korea. I wish we had more time! The museum artifacts have been sent home today. Our next unit will be the unit on farms and weather. This Friday we will be going to Casey Farm to learn about farm equipment and simple machines and how they help make farming easier. On May 14th we will be visiting channel 10 to investigate how the meteorologists predict and forecast the weather. The permission slips will be coming home next week. Please save the date if you would like to chaperon. We are on time for finishing the math and spelling units. Next week will be our last formal lesson on the 6 Traits but we are never finished writing. It would be fun to have a culminating activity at the end of school. Does anyone have any ideas? It has been such a great year with your children, they have grown up before my eyes and it would be fun to celebrate their accomplishments!

Recall...Recall...Recall...

My apologies for any confusion. Yes, it is true. I asked students to bring in the homework packets I sent home. I will send one home on the Monday after vacation. Have a great week of vacation and remember to keep smiling. My Best.

Dear Families,
The holiday and long weekend has passed but what beautiful days, sunny and warm! I hope everyone has pumped out the water and is nice and dry now. We are starting the week with a new math unit and will be working hard on Asia. The beginning of next week we will start a new science unit on weather. This kit is new to second grade so we will all be learning it together. The homework will be coming home today in a packet for the entire week. Have a great week everyone. LG
