As one of the kids said to me this week, "Mrs. D, we are SO close to October!" I just can't believe it. The beginning of the year is truly flying by. Fall Break, Report Cards, and Parent/Teacher Conferences will be here before we know it! Let's enjoy our last week of September next week :-). Please don't forget about our Service Project for September: Donations of dog toys, treats, food, and beds for a dog rescue called Underdog Rescue! There is also no school next Friday, September 30th. The teachers have a professional development day. Enjoy the extra day off!
Please take some time to fill out this homework survey. We appreciate your feedback.
Thank you again for all of the amazing birthday wishes and treats! I appreciate it! Here are a few pictures to share...
We celebrated another birthday this week! Happy Birthday sweet Sydney!
Next week in 2B...
Language Arts: Students will recite the poem we have been working on (Something Told the Wild Geese) independently in front of the class. I am looking for great posture and eye contact with the audience during this recitation! We will also finish Charlotte's Web this week. Charlotte has been acting very strange and we will find out what Wilbur’s fate is! We will continue building interesting sentences in grammar! We have learned so many parts of speech! Ask your grammar pro to sing you our newest jingle about article adjectives!
Spalding Words: We only have 20 words due to No School on Friday 9/30...
Monday: right, write, wrote, date, road, rode, ride, March, march, next
Tuesday: indeed, four, herself, power, wish, because, cause, world, country, meet, meat
There will be a "Reading Reflection Log" sent home on Monday to be used with your child's book. This will take the place of the reading logs with book name and signature.
Math: We have been talking a lot about renaming 10 ones as 1 ten and10 tens as 1 one hundred. In math this week we will work on renaming one ten into 10 ones with subtraction. We will learn a rhyming chant to help us remember, if there’s more on top, no need to stop! More on the floor? Go next door and get ten more! This is a challenging unit, but with diligent practice and patience, we will have successful mathematicians on our hands in no time!
Science: Can you believe that so far we have been lepidopterists (through studying butterflies), herpetologists (through learning frogs), and even ornithologists (when we learned about the life cycle of a chicken). We are continuing with our study on life cycles and growing into our next topic: the life cycle of a plant! We will be doing an experiment with a lima bean. Time to add botanist to our list!
History: Mrs. Smith brought her Kimono this week and taught us more about Japan. Thank you Mrs. Smith!
Next week, our journey will continue to another Asian country: India! Ask your scholar to identify the country on a map and tell you why the Indus River was important in the formation of the ancient Indian civilization.
Love,
Mrs. Dombrowski
