Getting down to the end...

We are winding down to the end of second grade.  Today our fun/field day was canceled and rescheduled for Monday.  Let's hope the weather holds out.  In the case of rain, there are still some fun activities planned for the students.  Shirts have been provided by the H&S and will be sent home with the students today to be worn on Monday.

This week we did a lot of math practice.  Please keep in mind that over the summer we do not want the students to "forget" these important skills.  Practicing math facts (addition, subtraction, and yes, multiplication) can be done for just a few minutes a few days a week.  Also, have your child help you count your change or tell the time (if you have an analog clock...).  Math can be practiced in many different ways!!

We have been practicing our Readers' Theater plays that we will be performing next week for Mrs. Taylor's class.  We have two "funny, folktale" plays:  Spiderella and The Three Little Elephants.  The students have been enjoying making the background scenery and the props, too.

We are still reading Charlotte's Web.  Wilbur has just arrived at the fair and is awaiting the judges decision... We will be finishing the book next week and then as a reward for our hard work this year will be watching the movie.

One more week to go...
