Long time no post! Sorry I haven't updated in a while, we have been working on a few big projects these past few weeks and the we are in the process of wrapping up!
In writing we have been busy researching and writing animal reports. These will be coming home soon!
In reading, the class had been working with non-fiction texts and identifying non-fiction text features (such as table of contents, diagrams, captions, index, bold words, ect.)
In my reading group we have been reading the book "Freckle Juice" and having books talks. The kids have been WONDERFUL about thinking of questions to discuss and working in a 'book club.' They sounds like little adults! They really are ready for 3rd grade!
In math we have began to work on multiplication. The kids have started to write multiplication sentences (8 x 4= 32) to go along with their arrays or drawings. We will start using flashcards and working on more multiplication through the end of the year. Multiplication flash cards over the summer would be great addition to your summer learning!
You may have heard that we have been working on our class play a LOT this week and last. The students will be making invitation to invite their parents & schoolmates to the play this afternoon. The play will be at 2:45 on May 23rd in the gym. SOME STUDENTS NEED TO WEAR A SPECIAL OUTFIT FOR THE PLAY!! ASK YOUR CHILD WHAT THEIR PART IS AND WHAT TYPE OF OUTFIT THEY NEED TO WEAR! If you have any extra doctor or nurse play items that you would be willing to donate, please send them to school! We promise to return them after the play in perfect condition. Thank you!
Our field trip is THIS THURSDAY to the Provencal-Weir House. We will be leaving the school at 8:40 AM and returning around 12:15. AL STUDENTS MUST bring a lunch to school that day! Please pack your lunch in a disposable bag (we won't have a place on the trip to store lunch boxes or tupperware to take back to school)
