News from Second Grade
Nuevas Fronteras Spanish Immersion 2nd grade with Sra. O-R
Learning plans for the week of April 27, 2015
Dearest families,
Reading:
This next week, the kids will read El Viaje de los Dinosaurios by Laurie Krasny Brown and Marc Brown is a silly (fictional) story about traveling. I'm complimenting this fictional text with some informational reading about real dinosaurs as well.
Math:
Some of the kids are studying fractions.
I will attempt to send home the daily lessons each day. Please re-go over the lesson at home to help reinforce any confusion. It should be relatively straight forward, even if your first language isn't Spanish.
Writing:
The kids are working on writing real letters. Thanks for some stamps! I'd welcome another book or two-- we'll be starting to put our letters in the mail this week.
Tutoring over the summer?
Hello NFSI families!
Summer is just around the corner…hopefully :) and perhaps some of you are wondering how to keep up with your child’s learning over the break. There are a few teachers from Nuevas Fronteras who will be available over the summer to hold tutoring sessions.
However, depending on the volume of interested families, we may have to further coordinate schedules and end-of-the-year student progress to determine which families we will be able to work with this summer as there are only a few of us available. If you are interested in hiring one of our amazing teachers to tutor your child over the summer please contact Leah Wieseler at lmwieseler@gmail.com by Friday, May 8th. Thank you, Leah (Srta. Wieseler)
