Learning about Lincoln
Second Grade Feb. 5-9, 2024
What's up for the next 2 weeks??
Reading and Social Studies
Our reading story is Looking for Lincoln. This is a short story with fun facts about Lincoln that you may not know. We will spend the rest of the week reading other stories and learning more about Lincoln and making a timeline of his life.
The vocabulary words for this story are quite hard-democracy, liberty, memorial, malice.
Week 2 the focus will be on presidents George Washington, Teddy Roosevelt, and Thomas Jefferson. Mt. Rushmore, the White House, and presidential pets are also fun topics to read about.
A Few Fun Presidential Things.....
Abe Lincoln's Beard
George's Teeth
Mount Rushmore
Science-Wonder of Water
(Intro-Strange River and Lesson 1-Where do rivers end ? were done this past week. Ask your child what they learned.)
Heart Challenge sheets came home on Thursday. You may do it online also. Remember this is an optional activity.
Valentine’s Day party
Let me know if you need a box and decorations and I will get it to you ASAP.
Jury Duty detail again....this time I am down for Feb 14-16. I am hoping I get called again the evening before to say it has been cancelled. It has been quite the topic of conversation in our class. There are now some students that think I have to go to court because I did something wrong. :). I was told by one student that I just need to go because if you do something wrong you have to fix it. Oh boy, I can only imagine what stories you have been told!! These kiddos crack me up.
