Hello 2D,

I hope you all had a great weekend!

This past week we wrapped up our “interviews” with the candidates for our new principal. Everyone had a chance to ask a question and we really enjoyed being a part of the process!

Below you will find great snaps of some memories from the week. On Thursday Sam’s mom, Kara Ignacio, came in to talk all about maps with us. It was really cool to learn about how maps are used on Martha’s Vineyard in particular, thank you Mrs. Ignacio! You will also see the picture of the entire 2nd grade together in front of our Snowman bulletin board. Together, per tradition, the 2nd grade takes this wordless book and cumulatively creates a story, page by page where partnerships work to put words to the story. And finally, you will find a pic of Hawaiian Day on Friday where we celebrated the first full day of spring with a little underground spirit day!

If you chose to do the reading challenge, reminder that it is due Friday, April 4th–two weeks left!

In reading this past week we worked on nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and pronouns and made flipbooks! This week we will focus back into our reading program and focus on the /oo/ sound spelled ui, oo and ew.

In math we are working on adding numbers in the tens with sums in the hundreds. Fact fluency is an important foundational skill that is utilized as we begin getting into larger numbers. Flash cards are a great tool for building fact fluency with sums/differences to 20.

We discussed the final project in our informational writing unit and the children are excited to pick an animal and start researching! Many have already decided on what animal they would like to study, ask them what animal they are thinking of studying…

Here’s to a great week ahead, I hope you all have a fantastic one!

~Summer
