April Newsletter
Second Grade
March was reading month and it was a great time to do some special reading activities! Students enjoyed buddy reading with the third graders. The pajama reading day was a lot of fun with a lot of time to enjoy reading. Students also reached our reading goal by reading more than 100 books in March. Students enjoyed a movie and popcorn as their class reward. Thanks to all the family members that attended our reader’s theater performance in March. The students enjoyed having an audience to read to. The book fair was also a big success. Another success was our book drive. Our class collected over 430 books to donate to local charities! It was great to conference with parents in March. I am proud of how your children are learning and growing and it was great to share this with you! Thank-you to the parents that joined us on our field trip to the Michigan Historical Museum!
Reading: In their reading groups, students will be reading and discussing a chapter book. In April, we will be learning more about poetry and will be reading and writing poems. Students will also be reviewing using non-fiction text features to gather more information from non-fiction text.
Nightly Reading: Just a reminder, students should be reading a book or chapter each night at home. Students that meet the reading goal in April will get to choose a new book to keep.
Math: This month, students will be learning about multiplication. In second grade, students are introduced to 0-5 multiplication facts.
Social Studies: We finished our unit about life in the past in March. This month, we will be starting a new unit focusing on map skills. Students will also be learning about Lewis and Clark and their expedition.
Donations Needed : Our classroom is in need of Kleenex. We would appreciate any donations. Thanks!
Feelin’ Good Mileage Club: April 12th- June 4th Students will have an opportunity to walk during some of their recess and gym times. Students will earn a foot token to put on their shoelaces for every 5 miles they walk. Students that walk 20 miles will earn a water bottle. Please make sure your child has tennis shoes to wear each day. Also, they may bring a water bottle from home to use during our walking times. This is a great way to help our students be physically fit!
