Sometimes you run the week, and other times the week runs you.
This week, the week ran me. Have a great weekend!

Looking for a way to connect school and home? Check out this list: 24 At-Home Learning Activities to Share with Parents of Young Children.
Show your kids how math is used at home with this activity: “Do your kids like to help out in the kitchen? Meal prep is the perfect time to get children counting, measuring, estimating, comparing, and recognizing shapes. Ask your child to measure and count cups of ingredients, count how many plates and utensils are needed for the whole family, and figure out who has more or less mashed potatoes. Get creative with math during cleanup time, too: you can have your child name the shapes of the dishes and sponges, count the number of steps they took to complete the cleanup task, and predict how many dishes will fit in the dishwasher.”

Meaningful conversations with our children are important. Meaningful conversations build trust and develop your child’s confidence. Your child learns that you care about them, you know them, and you are interested in what they think, feel, and do.
Here are some ideas for conversation starters:
1. Who did you help today?
2. Did anyone help you today?
3. Did you notice anyone struggling today? How did you help?
4. Why is it important that friends, teachers, and students help each other during the day?
5. Is there anything that you wish you would have done differently today?
2C- Ag in the Classroom!
This month during Ag in the Classroom 2nd grade learned about the importance of worms, insects, and tiny microorganisms that are found in healthy soils on farms. They got to play with some worms which was fun for most!
2nd Grade Reading Groups
In Mrs. Roos' 2nd grade reading groups we have been having fun learning our phonics skills in many ways! We have had a blast writing on rough surfaces like the 3D pin toys. We also practice r-controlled sounds using giant scrabble tiles!

Will a mountain last forever? This was 4B’s Mystery Science question of the week. Students were able to conduct an experiment with sugar cubes to find out the answer!
