A Look Ahead

Hi everyone! We heard some fantastic writing pieces today! This week's topic was "What Jesus Means To Me" and I continue to be amazed at the thoughtful, insightful writings of second grade.

We have a FUN math lesson planned for this afternoon - be sure to ask your child about it! We also did a funny adjective lesson about Santa and his elves!

There is a "Supply Refresh List" in your child's OCEAN binder today. It's a list of supplies that need to be replenished for your child. Thanks for helping with that.

Next week is a busy week for 2nd grade: we have Mass on Monday, concert rehearsal Tuesday afternoon and our concert Tuesday night, Communal Reconciliation on Wednesday night, prayer service Friday morning, and Secret Santa Shop Friday morning. Because of the busy schedule, we won't have homework Tuesday night (concert night) and we won't have spelling words or a spelling test next week. That should help calm things down. However, we will have a math test later next week. More on that soon.

Looking ahead to next week:
Math: Identifying similarities and differences among coins, counting nickels, writing the date using digits, creating and reading a bar graph, creating and reading a Venn diagram, and ordering two digit numbers.

Social Studies: Native Americans (or American Indians): Looking at different types of housing (tee-pees, longhouses, etc.)

Writing:  Good deeds I can do for others (5 sentences by Friday)

Reading: Guided reading books (individual) and Christmas traditions (as a class)

Science:  Extreme Weather

Religion: Unit 1 review (Chapters 1-4) We Gather As Believers

Have a great day off on Friday!
