Reading - The students will begin working on a shared research project featuring a country in My Librarian is a Camel. Students will be researching facts about a foreign country and read to find out how people access books in their community. The following week, we will use Chromebooks to develop a digital slide show with the facts.
Pajama Collection - Alongside this month's reading reward of Pajama Day, the staff and students will be collecting gently used and new children's pajamas. These will be donated to the Constance Morris House.
Math - This week we will begin a new unit, Money and Time. We'll start by identifying dimes, nickels, pennies, and quarters. We'll be ordering the coins to find the total value of a group of coins. We'll end the week by showing an amount of money in several different ways.
Coins - A few students have not brought in a container of "math money". A reminder note went home last week for those kids. Please gather the necessary coins and send it to school on Monday if you haven't already done so. Thank you!
Identifying and counting coins is a new skill for some 2nd graders. Please use every opportunity to help your child count collections of coins at home (or in the car).
Valentine boxes - Each child will need to bring in a shoe box covered in either red or white paper. We will be decorating them for our Valentine mailboxes.
We need a few donations for supplies to decorate our mailboxes. Supplies like foam stickers, ribbon, and sparkly gems would be much appreciated. Thank you!
