April Newsletter
Mrs. Senatore's 2nd Grade
Welcome Back!
Whether you vacationed or stayed near by I hope that your spring break was relaxing.
Your children have come a long way from the first days of 2nd grade and now there are only 9 weeks left until they complete this educational chapter. I know you join me in wanting them to succeed and together we will make them stronger and more capable learners. Thank you for your support and encouragement of your child and me.
Happy Spring,
Mrs. Senatore
Math
Throughout April we will be using addition to find the total number of objects arranged in rectangular arrays and writing equations to express the total as a sum of equal addends.
Literacy
Our literature focus this month will be to recount stories about Cinderella from diverse cultures and determine the central message, lesson, or moral. In early May we will culminate our study with a field trip to view a theatrical presentation of Cinderella.
Writing
Reading and writing poetry with the goal of being able to describe how words and phrases supply rhythm and meaning is the plan for our writing work this month.
Science
To keep our selves safe and healthy we will study the proper ways to avoid accidents and the types of equipment to use when riding bikes, skateboards, and rollerblading.
