WOW! What a week we had! Monday was a wonderful Read-A-Thon Celebration and Assembly. Congratulations to Ryken (Citizenship) and Abigail (Honesty) for being our virtue award winners for September and October! Here are some pictures to share from Monday and a video TOO!
November is here! Can you believe it? The class spelled out our classroom virtue of the month which was RESPONSIBILITY so they decided they want a movie/popcorn party! We will do this next Thursday, November 10th in the afternoon. Feel free to bring a comfy pillow or stuffed animal. Something that can fit into their backpack please. Some of the kids asked if they can wear a ROBE over their uniform for the movie party and I said that was fine too :-). Again, it needs to be able to fit into their backpack. Thank you!
Just a friendly reminder that our winter dress code begins on Monday, November 14. Please take note that picture retakes have also been rescheduled to Friday, November 18th. There is also no school next Friday, November 11th. Thank you!
Next week in 2B...
Language Arts:
In Grammar we will continue practicing diagramming sentences this week, and making our own interesting sentences! Students will also learn how to revise their sentences, by adding in synonyms, add, or delete words. Our writing is sounding beautiful!
In Literature we will continue reading The Boxcar Children. The students are doing SO well with this book, and I hope they are coming home excited about it! We will talk about how the kids are resourceful and show courage this week! We will also discuss Veteran's Day, and write thank you notes to veterans early this week.
Spalding Words for Next Week...
Monday: recover, mountain, speak, past, might, contract, deal, almost, all
Tuesday: brought, bring, less, event, off, of, true, truth, took, again
Please practice Merry Autumn Days at home and be ready for poem recitation next week! It's sounding awesome in class!
The written test for our Spelling Bee will be next week!
The written test for our Spelling Bee will be next week!
Math: In math this week, we will start a new unit on weight! We will start by comparing weights and learning different units of weight this week. The students will be introduced to grams and kilograms. We will look at scales and learn how to measure. This can be tricky for students. While I introduce a scale as a "curved number line" they are thrown off by the fact that each individual dash is not labeled. Please closely monitor you children's homework and guide them through this.
Science: We will review the Water Cycle. A review guide will be sent home on Tuesday evening with your scholar. Please help them study for their test on Thursday. Ask them to sing you the Water Cycle and Cloud song they learned :-).
History: Our adventures will continue from Ancient India to Ancient China next week. Your scholars will be receiving a family tree on Monday. Please help them fill it out at home.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Personal side note...Mr. Dombrowski (born in Chicago) is THRILLED that the CUBBIES won the World Series! Go Cubs Go!
Love,
Mrs. Dombrowski
