Dear Parents,
The kids enjoyed the Wild Zoo Safari so much last week! We also enjoyed learning about Saturn; we were all surprised to learn that Saturday was named after Saturn! I am personally excited about Monday. We will all taste Turkish Delight for the first time!
I hope everyone has a restful, wonderful, spring break!
Blessings,
Mrs. Poncy
Important Info:Math: This is a week of review! We will review this week and begin fractions when we return from Spring break.
Reading:We are going to go back and hit the last two OPG lessons again on Multi-syllable words. We are almost finished with the book, so we have plenty of time to do this. So many new words and pronunciations to practice. When we finish OPG, we will focus more on our remaining classical books.
Field Trip: There will be a 2nd grade field trip on Wednesday, April 15th, at the Mayborn Science Theatre (Planetarium) in Killeen, TX. More details will be emailed, but this will be a great opportunity for the younger kids to be off campus while the older kids take the CTP test. I'm excited to tie our field trip to this year's astronomy unit!
