Great Job, Second Graders!! You worked so hard last week and I am very proud of you! Taking tests is stressful, but you listened carefully, thought through, and did your very best. On Friday, you had a fabulous time at Peaceable Kingdom - a perfect way to end this busy week. Thank you, Mrs. Bonnet and Mr. Howell for providing transportation!
This week, we are back to our regular routine. Spelling words will be sent home Monday, trial test on Wednesday, and final test on Friday. I apologize that I don't have the list with me at the moment (I'm at home and forgot to bring it with me) but these words have the long o sound, spelled with various patterns. Please look for the spelling homework!!
In Bible, we will continue to work on our personal prayer books - adding scripture that we have learned and illustrating them. Memory work is Psalm 23.
In History, we are going to learn about Alexander the Great and how he changed the history of Egypt.
We continue to enjoy reading The Mouse and the Motorcycle by Beverly Cleary. We learned that she has her 100th birthday this week, and we watched an interview with her on NBC. What a treat to "meet" this author who has had such an impact on young (and older) readers for over 60 years! We also learned that her mother would not get eyeglasses for her because she didn't want to ruin her looks! Beverly was a librarian and didn't begin writing until she was older. Best wishes and happy birthday to Beverly Cleary - and enjoy your carrot cake!
In handwriting, we are practicing cursive lower case and upper case. We set a goal of starting to write spelling words in cursive!
Please remember that this is Book Fair Week and Grandparents' Week!
