March 6th we will be having our Economics Fair for the 2nd grade, tracks 3 and 4. Send me an email if you should need poster paper for your All Star to create their business sign. Please see flyer under the announcements tab for further information. Interims will come home Friday, Feb. 28. Our next field trip is March 13 to Blue Jay Point Park. If you have signed up to chaperone earlier in the year and have been cleared, please let me know if you would like to help chaperone this field trip. Bimas, universal screener, parental denial letters are due March 6.
This unit in Math, we will be focusing on adding and subtracting within 1000. All-Stars will continue to work on various strategies to help them solve equations and word problems alike. The strategies we will continue to use will be place value drawings, base ten, number lines and traditional algorithms. Please make sure when working with your child at home they use the strategy that works best for them and then work it into the strategy they may struggle with. Continued practice with the difficult strategy will help improve their weaknesses. I ask students to solve problems 2 ways so I know they can actually solve math correctly even if the strategy they are being asked to use is difficult for them.
We are working in Unit 2 of Plants and Pollinators. Our All-Stars are continuing research to find information on the pollination process and how pollinators help plants and our food grow. We are learning to take efficient notes on topics and also viewing various videos on Discovery Education to include in our informational research performance task at the end of the module.

Our writing will encompass a lot of note taking for research and creating informative paragraphs to support our research work on plants/pollinators. We will work on introductory sentences, body of the paragraph using details from our research and a concluding sentence. All-Stars will have a big focus on revising and editing this quarter building on skills we have learned in past quarters.
Requests to be considered for SSA must be submitted during your calendar's deadline.
