100 Days Smarter!
Today has started out with lots of celebrating...
Thank you families for the delicious trail mix snacks. They kids enjoyed every piece!
A few things to reflect on..
We have shown responsibility, enthusiasm, effort, cooperation, care, and organization in our daily learning behaviors.
We have studied solid, liquid, and gas states of matter.
We fell in love with The Box Car Children series.
We have become stronger with place value and can show multiple thinking strategies.
We enjoyed reading Frog and Toad, My Father's Dragon, The Enormous Turnip, and Thanksgiving on Thursday, just to name a few.
We have worked in teams to accomplish a common goal.
We participated in A Christmas Carol play.
We have worked on our speaking and listening skills with our classmates.
We have had LOTS of laughs.
We have enjoyed everyday of second grade!
And this is only the first half of the year, bring on the next 80 days!

The 100th
day of school is on TUESDAY! I am looking forward to reflecting on the year, we
have grown in so many ways. Thank you
for the delicious snacks, if you have not sent your item in yet, please do on
Monday.

I have about 50% of
the parent responses thus far, one last and final push to fill out the parent
survey. PLEASE fill out if you have not already done so. I appreciate the responses as we move forward
with the year, thanks for your continued support and effort! https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/P7MGGPW

I received feedback
for more math support at home, we had a GREAT parent resource online at http://www.fusd1.org/Page/10086 . I will also be placing
a blue Parent News Letter in HW folder on Monday to help with strategies found
at the start of Module 5. I hope this
helps! Your support at home is extremely important!
·
The annual science
fair is quickly approaching, 2nd graders may conduct an experiment
and create a presentation. It is optional but we would love to see the curiosity
sparked at home. All projects need to
list the materials, form a hypothesis, list the steps, and have a
conclusion. Pictures and evidence are
always helpful. Projects are due February 10th.
