The children have enjoyed two trips to Crisafulli School. One trip was to see the 5th Grade Chorus and the second trip was for the 5th Grade Play, Peter Pan. The children enjoyed the performances and loved having the opportunity to get to see Crisafulli. It has helped to spark extra excitement for 3rd Grade. We will be visiting Crisafulli again on June 21st for Move-Up Day.
During our writing blocks, the children have continued working on their country books. The children are really grasping the concept of Informational Writing and doing a wonderful job turning their research notes into interesting paragraphs. They are eager to share them with you at our Second Grade Celebration.
We are currently finishing up our Around the World unit for Social Studies. Our last destination was South America and the beautiful country of Brazil. The children have really enjoyed the unit and have learned so much about the world around them. Coming home on Monday will be a study guide for our upcoming Social Studies Assessment. The children will be asked to locate various mountains and rivers for each continent. They don't need to worry about the spelling of them, just the location.
We are looking forward to starting our next Science Unit which is called Earth's Surfaces. The children will explore what is on the Earth's Surface and how weather can change the earth's surface in small and big ways.
In math, we are working our way through Unit 9 which is our last official unit of the year. The past couple of lessons have focused on fractions, measuring to the nearest half inch, place value, and a new subtraction strategy called "Expand and Trade." We are looking forward to the next few lessons that will review previously taught concepts in order to help the children prepare for their End of Year Assessment.
