Pie day is coming up soon! We can't wait to put together pies with you on November 26 at 3:15. If you haven't yet, please let me know who your child is planning on having come to help assemble their pie. I need to verify background checks and get the list to the office before the big day! Also, on our pie day your child needs to bring in 5-6 apples already peeled and sliced in a ziplock bag. Let me know if this won't be feasible for you, so we can make sure your child has apples and can participate.
Writing:
We are wrapping up our nonfiction book about Hudsonville. The second graders have learned so much about Hudsonville's past, and have been doing a great job writing it using their own second-grade words. Next week everyone will write a conclusion, and finish up their table of contents and glossary. To finish out our informational writing unit the second graders will write one last non-fiction piece mini-book. They will again write about something they are an expert on. The next few days would be a great time to brainstorm some topics your second grader could write about and share their expertise!
Math:
We finished our unit in math with a test on Wednesday and will be starting the next unit on Monday. Tests are all finished and scored and I will be sharing them at parent-teacher conferences next week!
Reading:
We have been continued our informational reading unit by reading more on the history of Hudsonville. We have studied the main idea and looked for important details, we also worked on inferring this week.
Also in reading news. . .
Kindergarteners shared their gift of reading with us this week. It was so much fun listening to the Kinders read and then reading with them. The second graders were awesome role model for the littles and we were all very proud of the behavior of the two groups together!
Homework:
The pie math page is due by November 22
