Mark Your Calendars for Our End of the Year Lunch Bunch!!!
We cannot believe that the end of your child's second grade year is literally right around the corner! We have thoroughly enjoyed teaching your child this year! As an end of the year celebration we will be having a lunch bunch. This is a time for parents to come in and enjoy lunch with your child, and fingers crossed that the weather will hold out & we can eat outside! We would love for you to join us on Wednesday, May 24 to eat lunch with your child. You may choose to buy lunch from the cafeteria, bring a lunch from home, or pick up lunch from a restaurant for your child. We will be sending home a sheet for you to let us know if you will be coming and if you or your child will be buying a lunch from the cafeteria that day.
This week we have had a lot of different fun activities happening!
- On Tuesday, we went on our Runge Nature Center field trip. We really appreciate ALL the parent chaperones who were able to attend!! This allowed many small groups to be able to go at their own pace on the different trails around Runge. We enjoyed a presentation on Food Chains before lunch. Then, after lunch, we explored inside the center. We had a scavenger hunt to complete both on the trail and inside. Fun was had by ALL!!! :) You can look at all the pictures here.
- On Wednesday, we had our second nutrition class with Ms. Zappata. We learned about the difference between whole wheat versus white bread. We also got to make our own miniature burritos! The students love nutrition class!!!
- Today, we had our Which is Better Project Presentation. It was so wonderful to see so many parents, grandparents, etc. with us this morning! We are so proud of all the students and their hard work on their projects. After parents left, we had first grade and other second grade visitors to our presentation. Mrs. Reynolds, Ms. Ragsdale, and Ms. Holt were so impressed with how far our second graders have grown as writers! You can check out pictures from today here.
- Today, was Ms. Hackmann's last day. We enjoyed a pizza party to celebrate her last day, and gave her a tote full of teaching supplies, and books from the donations that you gave. The students also made her a book of advice for her first year of teaching - which turned out super cute! She will be truly missed by the students and by the teachers, and we know she will go on to great things!
What's Happening Next Week:
- In math, we will continue to work on turning information gathered from survey questions into pictographs, and both vertical and horizontal bar graphs. We will also be tracking the temperature in the morning and at recess to make a double line graph.
- In reading, we will be comparing information learned in two different nonfiction sources. We will continue to work on reviewing different things that we have learned in grammar (compound words, adjectives, etc.).
- Next week will be our last week of word study. We are finishing up r controlled vowels with ur words. Next week's words are: burn, purse, cure, sure, nurse, lurch, pure, splurge, blurt, and purple.
- In writing, we will be generating a list of topics to write for our big final writing piece of the school year. The students have a choice of writing about summer. This could be a personal narrative, a fiction story, or an informational book.
