It's almost Spring!

Dear 2A,

Can you believe it's almost the end of the 3rd quarter? It feels like this year is flying by! We had quite a busy week this week, but it was so worth it and also a lot of fun!

Here is what's coming up this last week before Spring Break:

Literature: What has your child been sharing with you about Sarah, Plain and Tall? Next week we will learn more about the characters through reading chapters 4-6. We are working on context clues with new vocabulary words, and we will write an advertisement (WANTED Ad) for someone we would love to have in our own life. This assignment is sure to be quite interesting :-).


Writing and Grammar: We will read an excerpt from The Elephant's Child and practice classifying sentences.


Spelling Words Next Week:Monday: holiday, holy, knee, lemon, lying, lie, nails, needle, nobody, oarTuesday: palace, penny, regular, repeats, sailor, sentence, shining, shine, surface, sweeping, sweepsWednesday: thief, waist, waste, waiting, weary (weak), writing, writer, write, spend 


Math: We begin a new unit this week on time! We will begin to tell time to each 5 minute interval, the 

quarter and half hour, and we will also discuss the importance of being able to tell time. "Better late than never!"

Science: We are finishing up our simple machines unit with a closer look at some machines that your child might be familiar with around your neighborhood! If they have a bicycle, skateboard, or other ways to get around, have them point out the parts they have learned in class. They are all connected! 


History: Your children took home a study guide for the War of 1812 on Friday. Please help them study for Monday's test. We will be starting a new unit on Wednesday! Welcome to the Wild West! We will begin our study of Americans moving west. Ask your pioneer about different ways people traveled during this time.

Side note: Book Reports are due Monday! We will also assign new chapter books and books next week. :)

Sincerely,

Mr. High
