Welcome Back

Dear Parents,
We had a wonderful in class field trip from Nature Vision (our second visit).  This time, we learned all about the water cycle.  Ask your child to perform the water cycle boogie for you!







Community Research:
We began our powerpoint projects today!  Students learned so many great things about their location.  We will continue to work on these in class and then students will get a chance to share their presentations with the class.  You are welcome to send in photographs.... please email them straight to your child.  We are teaching them how to open picture attachments and save them to their files.

Math:
As your students practices their math facts every Wednesday (either with flash cards, one of our computer choices, or just orally with you), you should start adding in subtraction problems.   We are doing so well with our addition facts!   Now, we would like to focus on getting faster and stronger with subtraction facts.   We are sending home some subtraction worksheets this week as math homework as well.

Spelling Bee:
Our class bee is THIS  FRIDAY.   The top 4 spellers from our room will go against the top 4 spellers from the other 2nd grade rooms on Thursday, Feb. 28th.

Your second grader is bringing home a flyer for Sandburg Family Math Night.  There will also be a seminar for parents entitled, "Encouraging Math Confidence Through Games"  We hope you can all make it to this fun night.
