The Last Week of Lent

Welcome to Holy Week Second Grade Families,
Due to it being a short week, the students will be stepping outside of their regular reading lessons.  Instead, the students will be focusing on religious based lessons and writing their research reports in class.  Please know that the students will be dismissed at noon on Thursday and there is no school on Good Friday.  May you and your families have a blessed Holy Week and a beautiful Easter celebration.  May you also enjoy some much needed downtime during your Spring Break.
Please continue reading to discover all that will be taking place in the second grade classroom and right here at ACS.

The students will be writing their research reports on a person who contributed scientifically to our world.  This is a cross-curricular activity, as it combines the history of an important scientific figure and writing.

 The students have begun a new unit which focuses on geometry and fractions.  Our class will continue to learn about these two mathematical concepts.

Religion (Active Christians)
The students will continue learning the following religious concept utilizing the 
Jesus Our Life religion series.

Hello Second Grade Families, We have arrived at the very last week of school!  This week is going to be super simple as I am now busily grading assessments, working on your child's report cards, and completing cumulative files for your children.  Inside your children's summer gift from me was a "memory book" for the students to work on.  I'd highly encourage having your children complete a few pages each day to assist them in practicing their writing skills.   Also, have you heard of the "summer slide?"  The summer slide is a term educators use to explain children "sliding back" in their learning due to not engaging in any academic activities over the course of the summer.  However, there's a way to prevent your child from experiencing the summer slide.  Research indicates, that students who read daily and practice their math skills often avoid the summer slide.  Here are a few tips to assist your child this summer.
