Feb. 10th- Feb. 14th

What a short week last week! Please make sure that you check the Colt Express, there is a lot of information about the upcoming testing as well important calendar events going on!

Due to the two snow days followed by the half day last week, we will not be doing much differently than last week. 

Our spelling test will be on Wednesday. 

Parent/teacher conferences will be on Thursday and Friday, please return the confirmation slips by Tuesday. 

We will be going on our field trip Monday, please have your child bring a sack lunch as our field trip will interfere with our lunch hour. 

Literacy- 

This week we will be answering the big question "Why is it a good idea to work together?" Our main selection will be called "The Breman Town Musicians."  We will try to understand that working together solves problems, provides safety and protection, helps us survive, and helps get the job done. We will be learning 8 more amazing words! They are partnership, solution, survival, miserable, struggle, depend, familiar and insist. Our high-frequency words this week include: bought, people, pleasant, probably, scared, shall and sign. Children will also be able to identify and spell plural nouns that change spellings. 

Religion-

    In religion this week we will be learning the corporal works of mercy and how to live them in our daily lives. We will also be talking about prayer and learning about the petitions in the Our Father. 

Math-
  As a second grade, we are going to skip a few topics in Pearson (we will be going back to them.) We will be covering measurement, time and money before moving into three digit addition and subtraction. 

Social Studies/Science-

Unfortunately because of the shortened week last week, we were not able to continue too far into our insect unit. This week we will be talking about our bug report. We will also be making an edible insect. (If you would be willing to donate to the project, please let me know.)
We will also be talking about pollination and harmful and helpful insects.


Your child brought home a bug report project, if you have questions please email me. These are due on February 24th.
