Uniform and Dress Code: Shoes
In the spirit of unity of purpose, Great Hearts has standardized the shoe requirements across all of the academies. In order to ease into the new standard, during the 2018-2019 school year, we will accept shoes with a colored sole and small white details on the the shoe. The rest of the shoe, including laces, must be solid black and the style athletic by Tuesday, September 4, 2018. Please reach out to Dean of Students, Stephanie Kaye, with questions. View the uniform policy here in the Family Handbook.
Next Week in 2B...
Literature: We will read Chapters 15-17 as we learn how Wilbur gets ready to go to the fair! What kinds of things are at the fair? Please have a discussion about the fair with your child. Especially if they've never been to a fair before! This will help us a great deal leading into an activity next week.
Spalding Words Next Week:
Monday: cloud, draw, drink, garden, goose, hopping, hop, knife, mouth, oak
Tuesday: peach, pole, queen, rope, season, sign, space, wagon, wheat (eat), window
Wednesday: catch, catcher, kitchen, butcher, black, warm, unless, clothing, clothes, clothe
Writing & Grammar: Your children will hear a familiar poem next week (My Shadow) and identify the central theme. We will continue to work on sentence dictation. We will review topics learned in grammar so far which includes nouns, verbs, adverbs, how to classify a simple sentence, the five parts of a complete sentence, and capitalization rules.
Poetry: We will learn Stanza 3 of Something Told the Wild Geese.
Math: We are continuing our renaming unit! This week we will slowly be adding the tens, and hundreds. It is extremely important that your child is practicing those math facts! A fun little car ride game can be random "fast facts" or adding and subtracting items when out shopping (six oranges plus 7 apples, etc.)!

Science: Next week we will HOP into our next animal life cycle: a frog! We will learn about how the frog experiences metamorphosis through these stages: egg, tadpole, froglet, and adult frog. Did you know that there are thousands of different kinds of frogs in the world and they don't all look alike? See if your 2nd grader can answer these to questions: Do you know what a group of frogs is called? Frogs live on every continent in the world except _____.
History: We will take our quiz over Geography of the Americas on Wednesday. Your child will be coming home with a study guide on Monday. Please help them study the guide and map to be prepared for Wednesday's quiz. Everything they need to know will be on the study guide. We will also begin our lessons on Modern Japan. This is a short unit, so please be asking your child about how Japan is different from America.
