March is HERE!

Dear 2B Families,

Welcome March! What a fun week we've had in 2nd grade! Our cursive is really IMPRESSIVE! Only one more week of school until SPRING BREAK which means the end of Quarter 3! This year has FLYING by!


Scholar Shout-Outs:

Happy Birthday Sydney!

Miss Smith has been doing an incredible job teaching us about Simple Machines in Science! Here are a few fun photos to share of the experiments they've been conducting!


Book Reports are due Monday! We will also assign new chapter books and books next week.

Literature: What has your child been sharing with you about Sarah, Plain and Tall? Next week we will learn more about the characters through reading chapters 4-6. We are working on context clues with new vocabulary words, and we will write an advertisement (WANTED Ad) for someone we would love to have in our own life. This assignment is sure to be quite interesting :-).

Writing and Grammar: We will read an excerpt from The Elephant's Child and practice classifying sentences.

Spelling Words Next Week:
Monday: holiday, holy, knee, lemon, lying, lie, nails, needle, nobody, oar
Tuesday: palace, penny, regular, repeats, sailor, sentence, shining, shine, surface, sweeping, sweeps
Wednesday: thief, waist, waste, waiting, weary (weak), writing, writer, write, spend

Math: We begin a new unit this week on time! We will begin to tell time to each 5 minute interval, the quarter and half hour, and we will also discuss the importance of being able to tell time. "Better late than never!"

History: Your children took home a study guide for the War of 1812 on Friday. Please help them study for Monday's test. We will be starting a new unit on Wednesday! Welcome to the Wild West! We will begin our study of Americans moving west. Ask your pioneer about different ways people traveled during this time.

Science: We are finishing up our simple machines unit with a closer look at some machines that your child might be familiar with around your neighborhood! If they have a bicycle, skateboard, or other ways to get around, have them point out the parts they have learned in class. They are all connected!

Love,

Mrs. Dombrowski

P.S. Auntie life is awesome!!!
