May 5th-9th

Dear Families of Room 11,
Listed below are the important reminders and objectives for our week.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks!

Important Reminders:

• Thank you to all who donated to the Nurses for Newborns Baby Shower!  I have attached a picture of all of the items the second grade brought in.  Great job!
• We are back to our normal schedule this week!  
• With the hot weather this week, make sure your child brings a water bottle to school so they do not miss class time to get a drink!
• Please remind your child to turn in their monthly reading log this week if they did not do so last week!

Weekly Objectives:

Writing:  This week we are continuing our unit on gripping fictional stories.  The students have been loving this unit so far!  We are going to discuss how to make our stories focus on just two small moments rather than a bunch of small moments!

Reading: During reader's workshop we are going to continue talking about the three levels that good readers use to question a text.  We are going to work on recognizing and using all three levels while we read.

Social Studies:  This week we will discuss how to read a timeline as well as the importance of American symbols and landmarks!

Math:  On Tuesday, we will have our test on Chapter 20: Spatial Sense.  Review with your child at home by asking about congruent shapes, lines of symmetry, slides, flips, and turns!  

Have a great week!
