2nd Grade News

We have started talking about our family heritages and will begin discussing holiday celebrations around the world.  We are basing our studies on where our families originated.  A few countries we will be discussing are: America, Germany, Spain, Mexico, and Ireland.  If you have any information about your family heritage, please share it with your child!

We are also having a theme every week up until Winter Break.  The theme this week has been Gingerbread.  We have been reading and comparing the different versions of the gingerbread stories, along with creating our own gingerbread story.  The next three weeks we will be focusing on reindeer, The Polar Express, and The Grinch.

We are working on telling time and money in math class.  If you have a few spare minutes at home, ask your child to tell you what time it is or ask them to give you change for an "item you would pay for".
