Dear Parents/Guardians,
- I have decided to write a newsletter on a monthly basis. Please look for it on the first Friday of the month.
- In Writer’s Workshop we are working on poems. The students have learned to write list poems, poems with repetition and poems with feelings. We will be making a book out of our poems. We will continue with poetry until winter break.
- We have been very busy in math. We are learning our basic facts. The students are also learning about shapes, parallel lines, and intersecting lines. We continue to learn about 2-digit addition using partial-sum algorithms.
- On December 18, the second graders will be going to the play “Beauty and the Beast.” Due to the cost of the tickets, I am unable to bring any adults along on this trip. The permission slip for this trip is in your child’s folder. Please sign it and return it on Monday.
- Our school is celebrating Hmong New Year next week. Everyone is welcome! This is always a fun event to attend.
- Our new culture focus is Africa. We will be learning about the different regions of Africa and much more. We currently have Culture with Ms. Dorow.
