Our end-of-the-year assessments are right around the corner. We will take our Reading MAP test on May 15th at 8:15 and the Math MAP test on May 18th at 9:30. All results will be sent home at the end of the year.

Friday is "Funky Friday". Students are encouraged to dress as silly as they'd like. 

This is an exciting week in 2nd grade. We are starting new units in Writing and Content!

Reading ~ We just began our final Reading unit – Series Book Clubs. Much of this unit focuses on characters and author’s craft. This unit will be a fun way to wrap up the school year!

Writing ~ Students will be finishing and publishing their nonfiction books later this week. We will have a museum share so students can read the writing of their classmates. Watch for their informational writing to come home early next week. The new writing unit aligns well with the new reading unit.  In writing, students will be Writing About Reading by writing opinion letters on what they have read. 

Math ~ We will be finishing up on our 3-digit addition and subtraction unit and will take the test on Friday. Our final unit will focus on arrays and fractions. 

Content ~ We will be starting a Science unit on Force and Motion. This is a hands-on, experiment-based unit. We will have 'Science afternoons' throughout the last month to allow ample time to explore and experiment. 


Enjoy the last week of April!
