Please join us for our
annual family fitness night on March 22nd from 5:30-7! There will be
many vendors there to inform you of the activities your child may enroll in.
Ms. Denny and myself will also be there in a healthy habits booth with sweet
but healthy snacks and facts! We would love to see you all there!
· The
second grade Suzuki concert will be on March 29th. Students will need to arrive at 5:30 in
concert attire. The concert takes place at Flag High. We look forward to seeing
their hard work, we are lucky to have the Suzuki program here at Marshall.
· THANK
YOU to Bree, Ryder, and Peyton for our wonderful wish list book donations! We
appreciate you thinking of us and I love your donation to our class library.
· THE
GIVING PROJECT, Ms. Denny will be organizing a classroom service project. We will decide on how we can give back to the
people in our community. As a class we
will decide how we can make a difference, I look forward to sharing with you
what our plan will be!!
· It was
so nice to have a chance to talk with most of you at conferences. Thank you for your prompt arrival and continued
support this year. Together we were able
to make second grade a GREAT one! I am
confident in the skills, academically and morally, that we have instilled this
year. Your child is thriving and will be ready to take on the challenges in 3rd
grade!
· Core
Value for the month of March, initiative. I
would like the students to take initiative as they challenge themselves to best
prepare for 3rd grade. Also,
taking on responsibilities and kind actions in and out of the classroom.
· We will
be celebrating our ocean habitat with an ocean day! The students will be participating in many
ocean learning activities, but we will need your helping hand. Please take the time to donate an item or
two, and/or your time! Use the sign up genius link below: www.SignUpGenius.com/go/409094BADA92BA3FB6-ocean
Next Week:
Literature/Science
We will incorporate
our ocean texts during our literature time.
This allows us to focus on reading elements and our habitat content at
the same time. The students will be
reading and writing about the ocean layers and the unique animals found in each
area. Ms. Denny will also start off a
Titanic Literature unit with the students, it is going to be a great few weeks
of reading instruction!
Social Studies
On Friday the students
will start reading a Magic Treehouse text focusing on the Titanic. We will be reading about the structure of the
ship, the people and amenities on board, and the current explorations of the
ship wreck. Ms. Denny will also continue with her awesome economics unit! The
students have been discussing and finding examples of goods, services, wants, needs,
natural resource
Math
The students will continue with currency. We have been using our
math tubs as we count coins and identify values. Next week we will transition from using
manipulatives and using other pencil and paper strategies. These skills are so important as they will be
using them during day to day life, any chance to have your child count coins or
help purchase items is helpful, and they LOVE it!
I
hope you all enjoy a sunny, fun filled, and well deserved spring break! Ms.
Denny and myself can be found at Spring Training and around town as we enjoy
the time off!
