May 20-24

We are walking down memory lane this week! We will remember how far we have come in second grade, comparing what we knew in the beginning to what we know now. We will be writing notes to old and new friends. We will also look to the future and remember to dream big with Dr. Seuss's Oh, The Places You Will Go. All of these activities will go into a time capsule that you and your child can open and enjoy in a few years.

We are working on becoming future thespians while wrapping up our drama unit. We will work on distinguishing between genres and picking out morals. We will even get to perform our own play at the end of the week, practicing reading with fluency and expression.

In math, we will continue to practice rounding to the nearest ten and hundred. We will continue our review of math skills with some fun stations, focusing on expanded form, graphing, number order, and subtraction.

We are learning from the past this week as we interview someone older than us. We will ask questions based on how technology, transportation, communication, and recreation have changed over their life time. These interviews were sent home Friday and are due by Tuesday, May 21st.
