Hello everyone, 

Here is what is going on in second grade this week: 

Reading and Writing: 

We're combining these subjects as we dive into our research project! Second grade focuses on insects, reptiles, and amphibians, and each second grader will be completing their own research paper and project on his/ her animal. This week we will make goals, figure out what we already know, and start researching using several different sources. 

Math: 

We are finishing up multiplication and division. Kids will take a short assessment and then we're going to spend the rest of the week reviewing things we have already learned, including 3 digit addition and subtraction, place value, money, and telling time. Homework this week will also be a review of some different things. 

Science: 

We are continuing our study of plants this week. We will look at different adaptations plants have to help them survive in their habitat as well as different ways seeds disperse themselves. We will also look at the effect of light on growing seeds and see that a plant just can't be healthy without it. 

Reminders: 

Family Dinner Night: April 1st. 

Early Release Day: April 5th. School gets out at noon.
