Welcome to the month of May! It's nice to see the temperatures are starting to warm up! Hopefully they will become more consistent.

I will be out for a math conference on Thursday and Friday. The kids will be in good hands with Mrs. Vanderloop, but I will also be checking my email frequently so feel free to reach me that way if needed. If it's something urgent, please call Mrs. Mitchell in the office.

Timber Rattlers Reading Program-If your child completed the reading for this program, a note came home on Friday with ticket information. Please return this note as soon as you can. Thanks!

A reminder that the Second Grade Spring Concert is coming up on Thursday, May 10th at 6:30.



Curriculum Updates:

Reading-We are continuing to read informational books. Students are digging into topics and learning and growing so many new ideas! We are also trying to notice what the authors in our nonfiction books are doing that we can try in our writing.

Writing-We also continue to work on writing our informational books. We are working hard to add details to teach our readers and making sure our books have all the parts. 

Math- Unit 6 continues to grow our mathematical thinking. We are reviewing what we know about 2-digit subtraction and using those skills for 3-digit subtraction. We will be working on this throughout the week.

Content-Students are very engaged in our Work of Water study. We've been studying the mystery, "Why do beaches have sand?" Ask your child what he/she has learned so far!

Have a GREAT week!
