Dear Parents,
All the costumes looked so adorable for Historical dress-up day! Even though it was a short school week, I enjoyed getting to spend time with them on Wednesday and look forward to a full week ahead. I can't believe it's already November! I guess the saying is true, "Time flies when you're having fun!" Thank you for being such a great group of co-teachers. All the children are always so prepared in class.
Have a wonderful week!
Mrs. Poncy
Important info:
Math: This week the students need to start memorizing their 2s and 3s X tables. These will be assessed before our Thanksgiving holiday! Your child should have a multiplication table in their binder, and you can always make flashcards or buy them to reinforce/practice.
Science: We do 2 Second-grade projects a year, and one of them is going to be the Earth advertisement assignment that comes up in the Apologia journal this coming week. I will send home a sheet that details what to include on the advertisement and the due date. I look forward to seeing all the student's creativity!
Geography: The Middle East Map is due this coming Wednesday, 11/6. Please review the day before, and we will also review Wednesday morning before they take the map assessment.
