I welcome all of you to Second Grade!  You will be amazed at just how much your child will grow this year. Most likely, your child has had the ‘seeds of reading and writing planted’, and during second grade, those ‘seeds will grow and blossom’, making your child an accomplished reader and writer! You will see changes in your child’s thinking, as he/she becomes familiar with abstract concepts and symbols. The change will be dramatic — just compare a ‘tiny seed with a full-grown sunflower’! That’s the kind of growth you’ll see this year!  

I look forward to meeting you and sharing more of what to expect in second grade at our Parent/Teacher open house.

Mrs. Magarie

  PAJAMA DRIVE: Please note that that first, second, and third graders have joined together to host a Pajama Drive.  We are asking for new pajamas to be donated to the less fortunate children from ages newborn to teen sizes.  Please consider helping us out and donate a pair of pajamas today.  We thank you so much for your donation it truly means a lot to us!

 Here’s a look at what we will be working on this week:

Our story this week is a hunorous fiction called "Click, Clack: Cows that Types".  Our secondary reading selection is an informational text called "Smart Animals". Skills we will be working on:
Spelling: Base Words ending in -s, -es
Grammar: Compound Sentences
Writing: Fictional Writing

Religion:  We are in our second week of Advent and we've been working on our Advent Lapbooks.  We will also begin Chapter 9.  In this chapter we will learn that the 10 Commandments  are special laws that God gave to his people.  

Social Studies: We continue our Native American Unit.  The children are learning a lot about life of Native Americans long ago.  So far the childen mader replicas of a canoe and totem poles. 

In Math, we continue with addition of 2-digit numbers using the strategies we covered in the previous chapter.

Science: We will finish up our mini unit on weather and take a look at the Water Cycle.

Have a great week!

Love, Mrs. Magarie
