Weekly Email 12/5-9

Good afternoon,
The Feast of the Immaculate Conception is tomorrow. We will be attending Mass tomorrow at 10:00.

Don't forget the Book Fair is open before school, during school and after school. Our class went to the Book Fair during our library time. It will also be open before the Christmas Concert on Friday night. Many students took clipboards, paper and pencils to write down their favorite books. They even shared their paper with others.

The Christmas Toy Drive is also happening this week. 

We are so busy finishing up the 2nd quarter work and getting ready for Christmas. In math, we are finishing up a unit on volume. In language, the story is called, "Officer Buckle and Gloria". Students are discussing cause and effect along with compound words and the schwa sound. In social studies, we have begun Christmas Around the World. Students will be learning customs from 6 countries. They will travel between the 2nd grade classrooms on their adventures. In religion, we are learning about the Holy Family and discussing Advent. Students are participating in the national week of coding. They used the website code.org/learn to try their hands at coding. Most are really good at it and they love it. This is something they can learn at home.
