Week 23

 Dear Parents,

          We focused all week on solving word problems and three digit addition with regrouping. They know what to do, but are making addition mistakes. Practicing our fact cards is an immense help. Your child will benefit from having these memorized as they progress to third grade.

            In writing we have been working on a research paper about Helen Keller. We took our notes which we wrote on sticky notes and organized them in a timeline of her life. We then came up with our own original sentences about those facts. Last we added time order words to help our paper flow. They are really doing a fantastic job with this research unit. We continue to work on map skills using our compass rose and map key to answer questions. In science we are learning about all the objects in our day and night skies and how those things appear to change and move. We are discovering that all is not what it appears to be. We had an excellent Kindness Week. Discussing all the ways we can be kind at both home and school. On Thursday we celebrated Lunar New Year. We read a scholastic News article about it, answered questions, read a book and made a banner. We also had so much fun eating long noodles with chopsticks! They are supposed to bring us good luck. We had a fortune cookie as well, and read our fortunes.
