Homework: In your child's folder today there is a homework calendar for the entire month of May. Please note-
- There is a sheet of paper for you to record 3 activities per week attached to the calendar. Turn in the whole packet on May 28th. These are short review activities that should not require a lot of time.
- We will not send home reading logs anymore. Please make sure that you continue to read throughout May and the summer months!
- There is a FINAL spelling list with the homework today. The final test will be May 17th. Please keep this list in a safe spot and practice it often before the 17th. These are words that your child chose from all the previous spelling lists.
Review Days: Towards the end of the month we will be having review days for different subjects and topics. On some of the days we will need some simple supplies from home. Please look at the list. I have also included these in the dates to remember IF your child needs to bring something from home.
Spelling Review Day: We will use sidewalk chalk to practice our spelling words. I have some, but if you have a few extra pieces, please send them in on May 16th.
Sink and Float Review: We will create boats that float. PLEASE send in materials that your child could use to construct a simple boat such as empty containers, styrofoam, SMALL pieces of wood, clay, foam trays, etc. We will do this on May 20th.
Three Branches of Government: We will take a look at our presentations, play a game and watch a short video. And of course, we will rock out to some Schoolhouse Rock!
Math Review Day: We will play all of our math games from the whole year!
Reading Review Day: Bring a towel and we will read our favorite books outside (weather permitting). If you have a favorite picture book you want to share with a friend, please bring that from home as well. We will celebrate reading on May 23rd.
Second Grade Promise Day: We promised every day to be respectful and responsible. We will celebrate our promise by playing board games (respectfully and responsibly) for 45 minutes in the afternoon. Students an bring games in on May 29th. Please no electronics, no violent games. Students should be able to explain the rules, set it up independently and be willing to share it with others.
