This week we started studying plants. We planted seeds and began to observe the plants as the grew. We will continue to watch our plants throughout next week. We observed the height of the plants and the number of leaves. In addition, we discovered that plants move so that their leaves turn toward the sun. We learned plants make their own food using photosynthesis. Ask you child what plants need to make their own food.
In the Meet the Masters Art Program we learned about the art of Frederic Remington. Remington was well-known for his artwork of the American Western Frontier. Students made a 3D sculpture in the class inspired by Remington’s bronze sculptures.
In math we are adding two digit numbers with regrouping. This is an important standard that second graders need to master. Students who have a strong basis in the basic math facts are having the most success. Please continue to work on the Rocket Math papers that come home in the weekly homework and Friday Folders. Your child will greatly benefit from knowing these facts.
Don’t forget that there is no school on Monday, November 11 in honor of Veteran’s Day and that school is dismissed at 12:50 everyday next week due to conferences.
