Happy New Year! I hope everyone has enjoyed the holidays and are well relaxed for the new year. I am excited to start the new year off with some new units in all subjects and continue the journey with this great 2nd grade class.
- I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to all of the parents for helping your child create such an AWESOME Hanukkah or Kwanza project. They turned out great and we all learned some new fun facts about those holidays. I plan on doing a project like that every quarter from now on!
- Don't forget to ask your child to complete their reading and math packet and bring it to school on Monday, January 9, 2012 and a book report with a non-fiction article is due by Friday, January 13th. You may use articles from newspapers, magazines, or online sources.
- We will be taking a Social Studies Test on Friday of the upcoming week on Unit 2-The World Around Us (This includes map skills for land and water, landforms, seasons and climate in different regions, using a table, Directions: North, South, East, West, how to find state capitals, continents **We live in North America**, absolute locations, knowing about the equator) Your child can go to http://www.harcourtschool.com/ss1/Grade2/interactives/gr2_unit3.html to play games and review, re-read, and learn more about this unit.
I hope to see everyone back at school on Monday! In the meantime, READ, READ, READ, and go to Studyisland.com for reading and math AND http://www.harcourtschool.com/ss1/Grade2/interactives/gr2_unit3.html for further practice in Social Studies.
