Dr. Seuss Day is Coming!
On Wednesday, March 2nd PreK-3rd grade students will be celebrating one of our favorite authors with so many fun learning activities! Part of celebrating Dr. Seuss is to celebrate his LOVE for reading. One of our rotations on Dr. Seuss day will consist of the students "Reading Across America" to earn a certificate in honor of their support for Dr. Seuss' love for learning and reading.
Our classroom will be turned into a complete reading oasis, full of comfortable areas for students to relax and read during that rotation. In order to create this reading oasis... I need your help! If you have comfortable bean bag chairs, pillows, body pillows, blankets, ANY items to help create a space for students to comfortably read.... please email me - these items will be used on Wednesday, March 2nd and then returned to their owner after Dr. Seuss day! If you have something we will be able to use, let me know and I will respond to your email with more details! :)
Another item we need to make our reading oasis...... LOTS of Dr. Seuss books! I have a stack in my classroom, but I would love to have more for students to choose from while they visit our room. If you have Seuss books at home that we could borrow for the day, please let me know! I will make sure they are LABELED with your name so I can return them after Dr. Seuss day.
Thank you for your help in making Dr. Seuss day EXTRA special for our elementary students!
Also.... if you are interested in volunteering for this fun day - please be on the lookout for a sign up coming soon!

Ms. P's Math Class:
Ms. P's Math class is working on our last chapter of Measurement! Students have brought home workbook 2A and we are not jumping ahead to Chapter 13: Customary Units of Measurement. We will be measuring using inches, feet, and yards during this chapter. We will take a quiz on customary measurement on Friday, February 25th. We will then have a week of review of ALL of our measurement (Mass, Volume, and Length) and take a Unit test on Friday, March 4th!
Ms. Minor's Math Class:
Ms. Minor's students did a great job on their metric measurement quiz. On Monday, the students will begin working on measuring mass with grams and kilograms. They will have their second metric quiz on Friday. Keep working on study island at home; it definitely makes a big difference!
Science:
We are continuing our new chapter all about Plants and Animals this week! This week we will be completing an Animal Webquest on the media center computers and an Animal Habitats research project using the iPads. It will be a VERY fun week for our 2nd grade scientists.
Social Studies:
We have finished our Economics unit in Social Studies! I will be grading these assessments this weekend, and I am hopeful that our students did great. Next week we will begin our unit on Cultures. This will be a very fun unit for our class.
