Next Week in 2B...

DIBELS testing will begin on Monday. I look forward to seeing how much your child has grown in their reading skills!

Literature: We will read Chapters 9 & 10 of Little House in the Big Woods.

Writing and Grammar: We are reading a passage from Dr. Dolittle. We are prewriting for a super secret paragraph!

Spalding Words Next Week:
Monday: crowd, factory, publish, represent, term, section, relative, relate, progress, progress
Tuesday: entire, president, preside, famous, fame, serve, estate, remember, either, effort
Wednesday: None - Spring Concert Night

Math: We are charting new territories with our new Unit: Bars, Graphs, and Charts! This will be a fun unit where your child will get to know their peers favorites with different activities!

Science: Next week, we are learning about Daniel Hale Williams. Dr. Williams was the first African-American member of the American College of Surgeons in 1913. He performed the first successful open-heart surgery and worked to make sure that good medical care was available to all patients.

History: Next week we continue in the Immigration and Citizenship unit. Your child will learn how immigrants came to the United States and where they went once they got here. We will talk about ethnic neighborhoods, Ellis Island, and the Statue of Liberty. Your child will also learn about three influential men: Andrew Carnegie, Albert Sabin, and Irving Berlin. You can listen to Irving Berlin's music here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DUh-hfR6po.

With Grateful Hearts,

Mrs. D and Miss Monk
