5-26-20 Activities

2nd Graders & Families, 

I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend! We sure got lucky with great weather! :) I wanted to give you all a heads-up on changes for the next two weeks. All 2nd grade students will be given only two assignments each day: Science and Math. There will be no formal lessons for Reading and Writing. Instead, both will be done naturally within the Science lessons. (We've got some fun lessons planned for the unit we missed on Life Cycles.) Next week will be the last week we'll be working in our Math workbook. After that, students will be learning about fractions in a fun way! As always, let me know if you have any questions or concerns! 

I hope you all have a wonderful week, 

Ms. Anderson
