Good Morning 2A!

Dear 2A,

We had such a great week last week! Mrs. Gerhart and I were so proud 2A and how well they did at the concert on Wednesday. Your children have all worked very hard this year and we are so proud! 

Here is what's coming up this week:

Next Week in 2B...

History: We have a full week of history next week! On Monday, your child will have a study guide coming home for the Immigration and Citizenship test. Please help them study on Monday night, the test is on Tuesday. We will begin our last unit on Civil Rights Leaders talking about Susan B. Anthony, Mary McLeod Bethune and Eleanor Roosevelt, and Jackie Robinson. Be sure to ask your child how each of these amazing people impacted civil rights.

Science: We are AHEAD of the game in our Science curriculum. Next week we will focus our Science time to complete our History units. Get ready for some awesome STEM activities and possible SLIME making before the end of the year :-).

Have a great day!

-Mr. High
