Curriculum Updates:
Reading and Writing ~ We are continuing to work on learning about characters from reading and using that to help guide our opinion letter writing. The more that we learn about characters, the more we are able to formulate strong opinions for our writing. We are also studying author's craft in reading.

Math ~ This week we will be wrapping up our last math unit, Unit 7, and will take the unit test early next week. We will then begin reviewing information that was learned throughout the year, as well as using those skills in different ways. The end of the year math work will be taught through rotations, games, partner work, etc. It will be a great way to use all of our 2nd grade math skills!
Science ~ Our Balance and Motion experiments will continue for the remainder of the school year. These are all hands-on experiments that are very engaging for the students. We are currently working with things that rotate.
Word Study ~ New high frequency words will come home early this week.
Have a great week!
