Hello Autumn!

It sure feels like Autumn today! It's a good reminder to bring jackets to school. Soon we'll need mittens, hats and boots - but thankfully not yet! It's a short week this week and we have so much to learn! (Sadly, there are no spelling words and therefore no spelling test this week!)

We're learning about another Author's Purpose - to inform, or to teach, in writing. Students are writing informative pieces in their journal about a hobby or passion of theirs, and they will share their writings in class on Wednesday.

In math, we're learning about weekdays and weekends, and then we start our pictograph unit, which is reading & creating graphs and charts.

We're studying "The Church Teaches Us How To Live" in Religion and the second graders have had great stories to share in class!

In Social Studies, we're finishing up a unit on Important People In History. They've really had fun with this!

We're learning about thermometers in Science, and learning how they work.

And of course, we started learning cursive writing last week and they are doing great!

As a reminder, conference slips were sent home last Thursday. Please make sure you complete your slip and send it back ASAP so we can get everyone on the schedule.

We will not have gym this Wednesday, so gym shoes won't be necessary. Finally, the Fire Dept. will be here on Wednesday afternoon for a fun and informative presentation about fire safety.

Have a great Monday everyone!
