Good morning!

Dear 2A,

I hope you had a wonderful weekend and feel refreshed and ready for a brand new week! Here is what's coming up this week in 2A:

Writing and Grammar: We will add the last part of speech to our question and answer flow for this year ~ CONJUNCTIONS! Conjunction junction, what's your function? We will also be reading an excerpt from The Magic of Oz by Frank L. Baum!

Math: We will begin a new unit on graphs and tables. We will learn how to compare graphs, use tally marks, and create our very own graph too!

History: We are finishing up our Civil War unit this week. Ask your child why Clara Barton was called The Angel of the Battlefield. Look for a study guide to come home on Friday!

Science: We will learn about a special woman, a nurse, named Florence Nightingale. She was also known as The Lady with the Lamp. Florence always believed that her life had a special purpose and that she was meant to help others. Be sure to ask your child how she accomplished this!

Warmest,

Mr. High
