Weekly Update

 Writing:

The kids finished their last realistic fiction story for the year.  Next week, we will start writing poetry.

Math:

We will be finishing our unit with measuring next week by taking a test at the end of the week.  This week we made a "garden" and measured our flowers!  Not only was this a great way to practice measuring, but it was also a great way to decorate our hallway for spring!

Social Studies:

We are going to have an election in second grade!  We have been learning all about the local government, and we are going to have our very own second grade mayor and commissioners.  The kids that want to run for these positions are going to write speeches, and we will let the kids vote.  We are so proud of all of the students who are running, since this is a very brave thing to do in front of all of their peers!  No matter the outcome, we want this to not only be a learning experience but also fun for everyone! 

 

Homework:

The two-sided math page is due by Friday, May 1.

May 19:

We are going on a field trip!  We are going to "Tour De Hudsonville", by walking to the City Hall from Park Elementary.  We will get to learn all about the Police Station, Fire Department, and also meet some of our very own City Government Officials!  We would LOVE for you to come with us!  Please make sure a background check is on file, and bring your most comfortable walking shoes!  We will leave at 9am, and be back before 11:50 to enjoy lunch at our normal time.  Please email me if you are planning on coming!
