Newsletter – November 17th
Second Grade News: November 17, 2023
Our Thanksgiving/Winn-Dixie Party was a lot of fun. I hope the children enjoyed the activities. I know I sure enjoyed watching them laugh and smile. It was fun to see their reactions when making egg salad sandwiches, and then trying them for the first time. (Well, most of them anyways!) 🙂
Curriculum:
We are continuing our work in Unit 2 of Math. We have been comparing numbers: greater than, less than, equal to, even and odds, and adding numbers with double and triple digits. In Science, we learned about the Turkey and what that “red” thing is on its neck and beak. In Writer’s Workshop, we have been working on writing about something fun that we’ve experienced in our life. It will be fun hearing their stories when they are finished. In Social Studies, we are almost done with our Democracy Unit. The kiddos will come back from break and present some facts they learned about Presidents we’ve been studying in class. Then, they will have an opportunity to Vote for a character in a book who is running for the Class President position. Also, they will even receive their very own Voter Registration Card so they can vote. It will be a very fun process with lots of learning involved.
Homework:
When we return, please make sure your child is reading 20 minutes nightly. Establishing a routine helps them for what’s to come in their later school years. Begin now to create this habit of homework nightly. It will benefit them later!
Have a wonderful break and a Blessed Thanksgiving! I can’t wait to hear all the stories that the week will hold for the children. May God Bless all of you!
Blessings,
Mrs. Campagna
