What's New in C2?
February 22-26
Next Week
Leap Day Learning Fun: Monday is Leap Day, and we have a fun day of learning planned. Learners will put together a time capsule to be opened on the next Leap Day-- in 2020! In the capsule will contain a timeline of their lives (2nd Grade Social Studies Standard), their measurements (2nd Grade Math Standard), a list of their current favorite things, and a letter to his or her "sixth grade self" describing the first year at PRS (2nd Grade English Language Arts Standard). We'll also conduct an investigation on matter (2nd Grade Science Standard). We are looking forward to an exciting day!
Math: Measurement plays a big part of second grade math, and we began by learning the many, varied tools with which we may measure. From there, learners used nonstandard units (cubes, paper clips, popsicle sticks) to practice foundational concepts of measurement. Now, we'll use our foundational knowledge and apply it to standard measurement (inches, feet, centimeters, and meters). Finally, learners will analyze measurements by making comparisons.
Projects: Learners are making progress on their project work! We are planning to host a "C2 Showcase" in March to share our hard work with YOU! Stay tuned for more information about that event.

Parent Volunteer Opportunity: Lunch Heroes
Our C2 lead learners would love your help! Please consider volunteering for a lunch shift for your child's class. It’s a great way to see your children during the school day, meet their friends, and help the lead learners all at the same time. Plus, the learners love seeing their parents and grandparents helping out with their class in the lunchroom! Younger siblings are always welcome to come with you during your volunteer slot! General duties include walking your child's class to the lunchroom, assisting them in line, and sitting with them at the lunch table. After lunch, you will remind them to pick up their trash and clean up their area, line them up and walk them back to the classroom.
