Dear Second Grade Families,
Happy Tuesday! Last week, we continued to practice addition with multi-digit numbers using regrouping during our math block. We listened to a wonderful story based on the Native American legend of The Jumping Mouse. Students were quite taken with this story, and quite wonderfully so, as it will be the basis of our class play this year! We will begin daily play practice this week. More information to come soon! Help will be needed to make costumes and students will be asked to practice lines at home. Thank you in advance for your help with this!
Additionally, we have begun our introduction to cursive writing. Students have been working with different running forms this year, and are ready to start forming cursive letters. We will introduce one new letter a day. Second grade has been so excited to write what they have been calling “fancy writing.” Way too sweet!
If you haven’t yet, please send me an email to RSVP with the number of guests, and their names, who will be attending the Grandfriends Tea on March 31st.
