Weekly Update for the week of Jan. 23rd

Reminders:

·      Looking for assigned 100^th day snacks, this way we can enjoy a sweet treat as we are 100 days smarter!

·      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!

·      Thank you Ms. Reger’s grandpa for provided a huge box of needed supplies, they never go unused and we are very grateful.

·      The annual science fair is quickly approaching, 2^nd 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 10^th. 

·      Collecting all BOX TOPS!

·      Pizza party NEXT FRIDAY due to a possible snow day tomorrow. Just pack a drink for them to enjoy with their pizza!

Next Week:

Literature

We are integrating our science into our literature time, next week will be all about the Arctic!  From reading and conducting experiments about the Northern Lights and Blubber to animal adaptations.  This will be a fun week! I look forward to starting our next habitat: the tundra.

Science

As a class we will be conducting an animal adaptation experiment: the insulating factor of blubber on arctic animals.  We will be following the scientific process as we conduct our experiment and will also display our findings on a poster board that can be found at the science fair!

Social Studies

We will be celebration Chinese New Year!  From Chinese writing to paper lanterns to treats it will be a knowledgeable and fun one!

Math

Starting Module 5, adding and subtracting within 1,000.

Have a wonderful white weekend!
