Dear families!
Happy third week of Advent! So excited for this week!
Have a wonderful Christmas break and I look forward to seeing you at the beginning of the new year!
Here is what we are looking to accomplish this week in second grade:
Literacy-
Knowing that this is the week before Christmas, your kiddos are so excited! We are doing a lot in literacy this week. We will be writing an opinion paper and a letter. We will also be identifying nouns and adjectives. We will also be reading many Christmas stories.
Religion-
It was absolutely amazing seeing your children receiving their First Reconciliation. There was palpable joy among the class!
In religion this week, we are going to be talking about the coming of Christ and his birth.
Math-
We will be continuing with two two-digit addition! We will finish this unit and test on it before the end of the semester. When we come back, we will begin unit 9 which will cover two digit subtraction including regrouping.
IMPORTANT: In order to begin the transition to third grade, after Christmas Break, your child will need to bring in the math homework sheet that shows after the quiz. They can either print it off or write it on a sheet of notebook paper.
Social Studies/Science-
Unfortunately, we won't be starting the water cycle until the beginning of the new year.
Your kids did such an amazing job with the Ancient Greece unit! It was so wonderful to see their excitement in learning about mythology and history!
Spelling-
We will not be starting a new literacy unit and with the shorter week, there will be no spelling test this week.
Reminders-
Advent Angel presents will be due at the Christmas party on December 20th.

This week will look very similar to last week because we didn't accomplish much with the early release and snow days.

Students will be determining cause and effect with different situations

I have updated grades, you may have noticed that some assignments are missing, I had quite a few assignments that had no names. Once we go over that in class, those assignments will be updated.
Our class Halloween Party is on Thursday Oct. 31st at 1:40pm. Students are allowed to wear a Halloween shirt and uniform bottoms.
November 1st will be a very exciting day. We are asking students to dress up as their favorite saint. We will have mass at 8am and it is also a noon dismissal day. I, unfortunately, will not be at school that day.
Our school calender of events can be found at cccscoltexpress.blogspot.com
If you have questions about anything, please feel free to email me.
Have a fabulous week!
Mary, Jesus, Joseph, pray for us!
