Happy Spring Break!

Dear 2B Families,

Happy Spring Break! I hope you enjoy the next week of rest and relaxation. Did your children tell you about our DANCE PARTY today? We had so much fun!


Scholar Shout-Outs:
Happy Birthday, Lucy! Thank you for the goodie bags today!


Field Trip: Our field trip to the Pioneer Living History Museum is on Friday, March 22! We will be leaving at 8:15 am and returning around 2:00. A permission slip came home yesterday. Please return it by Tuesday, 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 (label with name and section)
  • Wear tennis shoes and sunblock
  • Hat & sunglasses (optional)
Chaperones: We have found five chaperones already, but you can still join us! If you want to come and hang out with your child's group, you are welcome to drive up and join us! The admission is only $8. We would LOVE to have you!

When we return from Spring Break here is what we are going to be focusing on....

Poetry: We are learning a new poem, Lincoln by Nancy Byrd Turner.

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! We will write a personal narrative about two things that happened over 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 continuing our fun filled fraction unit with working more on splitting items equally and equivalents. Encourage your child to see what snacks and dinner items they can make into fractions!
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 22!

Science: Students will study levers and learn how they make work easier. We will also have just a short quiz on Tuesday. Ask your student to tell you about all six types of simple machines.

Love,

Mrs. D and Miss Monk
