Happy Friday! Mr. Dombrowski and I were just commenting last night that we can't believe February is almost over. This month FLEW by. March is upon us which means Spring Training is almost here and amazing AZ weather is on the way! I hope everyone enjoyed their three day weekend ~ I know I sure did! We attended not one but TWO weddings on Saturday! The first for a childhood friend of mine and the second for a college friend. Such a blessed weekend full of love! It was nice having an extra day off :-).
I snapped this fun photo on the playground this week. It was neat seeing all the children form a huddle to play a game. Sweet second grade moments...
We did great with a "turn and talk" activity during Touchpebbles today. We sat on our desks too!
This past week Miss Smith taught an awesome lesson about simple machines. We LOVED it! Thank you Miss Smith! Has your child been finding ways simple machines are used all over your house?
Next Week in 2B...
We have MAP testing on Monday! Please make sure your child has working ear buds as the test is read aloud to them. Also a great breakfast a good nights rest on Sunday evening will help them do their best on their test! Thank you for your help with this.
Recitations of The Preamble to the Constitution will take place next week. Please ask your child to recite this for you on the car ride home!
Literature: We have concluded our reading of The Cricket in Times Square. Please send in a copy of Sarah, Plain and Tall for your child to read. We will dive into new vocabulary, like what is a hearthstone, and what it means to be feisty. We will also discuss why Sarah feels like a move is necessary, and why Pa places an advertisement in the newspaper! Be sure to ask your literature experts for the answers to these questions.
Spalding Words Next Week:
Math: This week we conclude our study of fractions after comparing and naming fractions in part of a group and we will take our Unit 10 Cumulative test next Friday.
Science: We will be delving deeper into our mechanical mysteries this week with some hands on experiments! Have your child identify different wedges, inclined planes, and screws while out and about!
History: Our scholars will continue to learn about the War of 1812 this week. Ask your child why Dolley Madison was an influential person in history.
