Happy Spring Break 2B!

Dear 2B Families,

Happy Spring Break! I hope you all enjoy this time with family and friends!


Scholar Shout-Outs:

We will miss you Lyza! Thank you for being a friend to everyone in 2B!


Happy Birthday to Kaelyn (3/14)! Thank you for the cupcakes today!


We designed leprechaun traps in Science using all of the simple machines we've learned about! Their group designs were impressive!


Field Trip Time!
Our field trip to the Pioneer Living History Museum is on Thursday, March 29! We will be leaving at 8:15 am and returning around 2:00. Be on the lookout for a permission slip coming home in your child's homework folder. If you would like to chaperone this fun field trip, please email me by Monday, March 19. Please be sure your child brings the following:
  • Sack lunch (everything should be able to be thrown out after eating)
  • Disposable water bottle
  • Wear tennis shoes and sunblock
  • Hat & sunglasses (optional)
Literature: After Spring Break we will read Chapters 7-9 of Sarah, Plain and Tall. We will talk about what it means to be homesick and learn what the word "ayuh" means. We'll also find out why Sarah wants to learn to drive the wagon.

Writing and Grammar: We will jump back into paragraph writing when we return from Spring Break!

Spalding Words Next Week (20 words only due to No School on 3/19):
Tuesday: enjoy, awful, awesome, awe, usual, usually, complaint, complained, complain, auto
Wednesday: vacation, beautiful, beauty, flight, travel, rapid, repair, troubling, trouble, entrance

Math: We are going to spend a little more time this week reviewing our current unit on telling time before we begin a new unit on capacity.

Science: We will start a new unit about MAGNETS! See if your child can notice the many ways magnets are used at home.

History: Upon our return from Spring Break, we will learn about why and how pioneers traveled west. Your child will discuss the Oregon Trail, California gold rush, and the Transcontinental Railroad. Ask your child how the Pony Express worked. Our Pioneers are gearing up for their field trip to the Pioneer Living History Museum on March 29!

Love,

Mrs. Dombrowski

P.S. Last weekend my mom, grandma, and I enjoyed the Phoenix Symphony!
