Classroom Updates
We had a fun and love-filled week in 2nd grade. Friday was especially fun with our Valentine’s Day activities! When we return, we will have our Ellis Island simulation. Please spend some time this break putting your student’s costume together and working on your family recipe. Here are the sign-ups for the simulation day:

Volunteers: https://signup.com/go/FgnKpXy
Please feel free to sign up to help.
In math this week, we revisited addition and subtraction games. We played, Beat the Calculator, Close to 20, Cover Up, and Double it. When we return we will continue working on unpacking and understanding story problems in math.
Writing this week included students choosing two February writing prompts and writing in their writing journals. On Friday, students wrote a letter to someone they love.
Reading this week included working on our reading stamina, several read aloud books, and books related to Ellis Island.
In science this week, students continue to learn about the properties of matter. After the break we will complete some experiments to better understand this concept.
A special thanks to our wonderful parents who volunteer in and out of the classroom!. I am so appreciative! I’m also very thankful for all of the goodies I received for Valentine’s Day. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Everyone is so generous and I feel so appreciated. Enjoy your break!
