Second Grade News

        April 8-12

Reading:  These are our new vocabulary words for this week:

          course                  hear           things         which                  years

          glides                   steers         bay             compass              crew

          currents               deck           dock           engines     

Please put this list in a handy spot and have your child read through it a couple of times each day. 

This week as we read we will be determining whether a passage is a fact or an opinion.  We will learn that a fact is something that can be proved true or false.  An opinion cannot be proved true or false.  It is what someone thinks or feels.

Spelling:  Your child’s list of words is attached to this letter.

Math Test on Thursday:  We will be reviewing fractions Monday through Wednesday.  Look for the study guide to come home by Wednesday.  Please take a few minutes to go over it with your child so he/she is ready for the test on Thursday.

Mileage Club:  This starts up again on Monday, April 15.  Mrs. Kelley is in need of a couple more parent volunteers.  If you would be able to help out please call and leave a message at the school (825-2021) or contact her at ckelly@mcbain.org.

Bookbag Calendars:  If your child has not returned his/her March reading calendar, please make sure your child returns it as soon as possible so I can give out the March reward and issue the April calendar. 

Have a great week!

Mrs. Wimmler
