We hope you're having a lovely weekend! Here is what's coming up this week in second grade:
Fine Arts and French Night: It is our great pleasure to invite you to our annual Fine Arts and French Night, an evening showcasing our students' excellent work in the arts this year! This event will take place on Wednesday, April 11th. There will only be one session this year from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Parking will be available on campus and at The Falls. Our students have made great strides this academic year in both French and Fine Art, and we cannot wait for you to come get a glimpse of the beauty they have created on this special occasion. Come enjoy French performances, art workshops, student work, and snacks! This is a casual event, so uniforms are not required. We hope to see you there!
Book Reports (Visors) are due on Monday! I'm excited to see the kids wearing their visors to school on Monday!
Poetry: Students will be assessed on their recitation of Lincoln by Nancy Byrd Turner next week. Please ask your child to recite this poem in the car, at the dinner table, or in front of their stuffed animals or real animals (any kind of audience will work) :-).
Writing and Grammar: We're writing our next paragraph moving from two main points to THREE main points! If you'd like to help your child get started this weekend ask them to tell you about their 3 favorite activities :-)!
Literature: We will be reading chapters 3 and 4 of Little House in the Big Woods.

Wednesday: cousin, dollars, excuse, excuse, island, grief, guard, guilty, hungry, language *NO Homework for these words on Wednesday

(Sidenote: There will be no homework this Wednesday to celebrate our Fine Arts Night. Hope to see you there!)
Science: Our unit on biographies will begin by studying a man named Elijah McCoy. Have you ever heard the phrase: The REAL McCoy? What is something you prefer to have the real McCoy of?
History: We continue our study of the Civil War this week. Your children will learn about Abraham Lincoln, his views on slavery, and how he contributed to the start of the Civil War. Ask your child to tell you about the differences between two famous Generals: Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant.
