Happy President's Day Weekend!

Dear 2A,

Welcome back to a new week! I hope you were all able to enjoy some time with your families over the long weekend. :) 

Here is what's coming up this week in 2A:

Poetry: Please start practicing The Preamble to the Constitution at home. 

Writing and Grammar: We will read an excerpt from Little Women. Possessive Pronouns will be added to our Question & Answer Flow!

Literature: Our adventure with The Cricket in Times Square will come to an end next week. We have LOVED reading this beautiful novel!

Spalding: There will be NO Spalding words next week. Instead we will introduce CURSIVE(your children are SO excited for this), practice it in class, and send home cursive writing practice for homework. We will also be sending home a parent packet about cursive writing so you can add that to your resources :-).

Math: We are going to begin working with fractions. We will focus on fractions up to 1/12. Feel free to bring your mathematician into the kitchen to help divide various items into equal quarters, thirds, halves, or whatever you need!

History: Scholars will dive into a brief study of, what some refer to as the second war of independence: the War of 1812. Ask your child to identify key points for the Merchant's and War Hawk's views.

Science: We have finished digesting our Human Body Unit and are tinkering onto our Simple Machines Unit! Can your child reel in the robotics around them at home or in their community? We are excited to make mechanical discoveries with this interactive unit! 

Warmest, 

Mr. High
