Happy New Year and Welcome Back! It was so good to see your children this week and hear about their break. Miss Smith and I missed them! We had a great first week back any many of us are "Turning Over a New Leaf" like we learned from our newest phrase of the week! It's going to be a spectacular year!
Scholar Shout-Outs:
We had a great December birthday lunch on Monday! Happy belated Birthday to Aiden R., Leighton (1/2), and Matthew (1/2)! It was fun having lunch with them.
Happy Birthday Recently to Jayda 1/3, Lyza 1/6, and Elle (half bday) 1/7!
Lyza brought us donuts on Monday! Thanks Lyza!
We're working hard on skip counting by 4s. Ask me to do this at home :-)!
Next Week in 2B...
Language Arts: We're moving from Reading Logs to Book Reports! We will be sending chapter books home next week with your child. They will have 3 weeks to finish, reading 20 minutes each night. Thank you for your help with this and please reach out if you have questions.
Grammar: We're reviewing parts of speech and jumping back in with marking and editing sentences to help us prepare us for writing paragraphs!
Literature: We will be reading from our new book, The Cricket in Times Square. If you have not already please send the book in with your child. We will discuss what it is like to move from one place to another. We will also have a group discussion about a time we wanted something really badly and our parents wouldn’t let us have it. We will ask the kids if they were able to talk their parents into it, or if they realized why their parents told them no. We will read chapters 1-3 in the book and discuss characters.
Spalding Words: There will only be 20 words next week since there is no school on Monday.
Tuesday: yesterday, among, question, quest, doctor, size, December, dozen, there (not here), their (they), they're (they are)
Wednesday: tax, number, October, reason, fifth, baking, bake, bowl, cheap (eat)
Math: We are continuing to develop our understanding of multiplication and division and will have a test on Thursday. Keep an eye out for a study guide coming home on Wednesday evening to review with your mathematician!
Science: All living things are made up of microscopic cells. We will describe the relationship among cells, tissues, organs, and systems. Ask me about the body systems at home! What are they and what functions do they perform?
History: We will finish up our lessons on Ancient Greece. We will be learning about three great thinkers: Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. We will also talk about Alexander the Great, a brave man who conquered many lands and spread Greek ideas to many new places.
Wishing you a happy and restful 3 day weekend!

P.S. Here's a little preview of my Winter Break :-)...My mom and I saw Cinderella at Gammage! We spent quality time with family! My sister and brother-in-law had a gender reveal - another BOY and another nephew for Mr. Dombrowski and I! Mr. D and I enjoyed New Years Eve in Pinetop celebrating our friend's upcoming wedding! It was COLD but no snow!
