Smart, Smart, SMART!!!

Our second grade is doing an amazing job! Not only did they celebrate an exhausting First Communion this weekend, but they are also preparing for a very special May Crowning Mass this Friday AND they are learning lots of new things in school!

In Math - we've started learning multiplication. We already learned that any number x 0 = 0. We also know that any number x 1 = that number. We ALSO know that we can skip count by 2 when we multiply by two. Today we started multiplying by 5. We learned that multiplying by 5 is the same as skip counting by 5.

In Writing - we talked about how to write a research paper. Several people are done with their state research and are ready to write. We talked about writing one sentence for every fact we wrote down, except for the picture of our state and our state flag. We're going to have fun drawing those later and adding them to the end of our report.

There is an important e-mail that I sent all of the parents today - it has information for this Friday's Mass. Please check it for more information. Also, please have your child practice their Mass parts which came home last week. There are some difficult words in their parts and they will need some extra work. They are doing a great job - thanks so much for your help at home!!
