Happy Valentine's Day, Black History Month and President's Day

    We are so excited in the 2nd grade! We are learning about Celestial Bodies and  Measurement! Your students may want to share some of the information they learned in class today. Feel free to do further research with your student by checking out books, movies or exploring the 2nd grade website.

 
          In Science we have begun the study of celestial bodies.  There are a number of excellent websites on the Second Grade blog to support this unit of study.  In math we are studying "measurement" we'll be using standard and nonstandard units to measure length.  We will begin with inches and centimeters and then move on to feet, yards and meters next week.  To support this unit of study, you may have your child visit the following website to practice these concepts.  They may actually move a ruler to measure the lengths via the internet!  http://www.harcourtschool.com/thinkmath/index.html

the class. Be sure to check in your child's folder for the class list. I do not want anyone to feel left out. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.   It is that time again Valentine's Day. We will exchanging valentines after lunch this coming Friday.  As we know children love sharing valentines with their friends.   Please be sure that if your child plans to participate that they share cards with all of the children in our class. Don't forget that February 16th is President's Day and a holiday for students.  Also, March 3rd is an Early Release Day with students being dismissed two hours early.  Please remind your student how they will get home that day.

Thank you in advance,

Mrs. Johnson

September

Thank you all who attended report card and SPLOST night it was a wonderful turnout. Look for the nine week checklist to come home tomorrow in the red take home folder. This checklist must come back everyday with your student. Parents please continue to support your child's mastery of addition facts at home. We will be reviewing strategies in class that will help your child become more successful in this endeavor. Math Blaster folders are due on Friday along with homework packets. You may also want to support your child's efforts to master addition facts by visiting the second grade website's math links. This month the character word was respect: self respect, respect for others, respect for authority, and respect for learning & punctuality. Elliot has set a good example of this kind of character. He is always polite, helpful, mannerly, and has great listening skills. Way to go Elliot! Standards to ask your child about at home are cardinal and intermediate directions, the 5 regions of Georgia. Thank you all for your continued support.

Dates to remember:

• Innisbrook Orders Due September 9th
• Character Ed. Luncheon September 9th
• Early Release September 16th (Please let me know of any changes)
  
• Bruster's Night September 16th
