This week we will wrap up our animal research reports and projects. We will work with peers to review our work and then present our products. We will have a "walkabout" on Friday to each of the second grade classrooms to learn even more about animals. We will focus on prefixes this week with some games and group practice.
Spelling:
Spelling words will go home on Monday and then we will check for understanding on Friday.

We are going from A-Z in reading! We will revisit some of the important reading strategies and skills that have been taught this year. Guided reading groups and end of year reading assessments will be going on as well.
Math:
Multiplication will continue and division will begin this week. We will work with dividing things into equal groups and then concentrate on solving word problems. Our assessment will be on Friday.
