News from Second Grade
Nuevas Fronteras Spanish Immersion 2nd grade with Sra. O-R
Learning plans for the week of March 16, 2015
Dearest families,
Reading:
Please have fun with Flat Stanley on our break. Please send photos to me in email, or post them here on google. The kids would also LOVE to get postcards from all over the country and world. Please address them to:
Sra. O-R's 2nd grade Class
Nuevas Fronteras Spanish Immersion
7830 80th St. S.
Cottage Grove, MN 55016
When the kids return, we will read Ruth Law Asombra el País by Don Brown. The story is about a biography about Ruth Law, an early female aviator (before Amelia Earhart!) here in the United States.
Math:
We will begin 2-digit subtraction. Here is an online simple soccer game for subtraction practice, for fun! Here's a parent-centered article about how to help your child with this concept. It includes some of the "new teaching" that we use, which is a little different, and more hands-on than when we learned how to add and subtract.
Writing:
Many children have finished their penguin projects. We will begin writing persuasive letters about changes we'd like to see in the world. I would LOVE for us to send letters to political leaders, companies, and famous people. I'll be scouring google for addresses!
Flat Stanley!
We're starting a really fun project that will involve hearing from all over the world!
I sent Stanley home with the kids. Please mail him off to friends and relatives with the letter that accompanied him! :)
Here's a link to the Flat Stanley books site.
