Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving! We had a great (and short) two day week in 2B! Mr. Dombrowski and I have been busily preparing our home to host Thanksgiving again this year! Twenty wonderful family members plus 3 kids! We're so excited to spend this time with our family. My best friend and her husband are also in town from Michigan so we can't wait to spend the holiday with them. We'll also be going to the ASU/U of A Football game on Saturday! Go Devils!
We enjoyed a performance from the Phoenix Symphony yesterday! It was beautiful! They treated us to so many wonderful compositions from The Nutcracker, to Sleeping Beauty, and even Swan Lake.
Did you know that we practice typing every Monday afternoon? We've been working hard on our "home row" typing skills. No more pecking keys! Here are a few amazing home row scholars!
Parachute FUN in PE:
Wish List Highlight: TISSUES!
Next week in 2B...
Literature: We will read Chapters 10 & 11 of The Boxcar Children. Ask your child to retell you some of the important events in a sequential order. Don't forget to be working on your diorama project at home! The suggested timeline says you should have by now: A. Planned what you want it to look like on the outside and B. by December 1st choose which 5 items you want to include inside that show how they made their boxcar into a home. Here are picture examples of projects from 2015 and 2016!
Poetry: We are working so hard to memorize one stanza each of The Night Before Christmas by Clement C. Moore.
Grammar: Our grammar experts are adding prepositions, object of the preposition, and prepositional phrases to their question and answer flow.
Writing: The excerpt next week is from Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert C. O'Brien.
Spalding Words Next Week:
Monday: died, die, changing, change, few, pleasant, please, picture, pitcher, pitch
Tuesday: money, ready, omit, anyway, eight, breakfast, chance, climb, coffee, color
Wednesday: contains, daily, day, eagle, fancy, fly, forest, freeze, gentle, grow
Math: We will continue solidifying our understanding of multiplication and division!
History: This week in history, we will be finishing up our unit on Ancient China with a review on Monday and the test on Wednesday. A study guide will be sent home for your child to review. Our new unit will be Ancient Greece! On Friday we will begin by studying the geography of ancient Greece and it's surrounding areas.
Science: Next week our young entomologists will continue their study of insects through learning more about social insects ~ bees (honeybees, drones, queens), paper wasps, termites, and ants. Ask your child if they can describe the difference between a social and solitary insect. Can they describe what each bee must do in order to survive? Can they tell you how ants and termites are different from other social insects?
Love,
Mrs. Dombrowski
