Saddle up for the fifth six weeks of Second grade! 

In ELA, we are learning different ways to write long vowel sounds. We will start with the letter “a” and “e.” We will also be continuing to add suffixes to our words in the upcoming weeks. As far as new material, we will be learning about adverbs, common/proper nouns, and extending our information on contractions. We are also going to be working on narrative writing, as well as story telling. 

Second grade also has their first project coming up! It involves their favorite book. More details will come home soon about specifics. For right now, please choose your child’s favorite book and bring it to class on Friday, March 6th. The whole project is due on Friday, March 27th. 

In Math, we are going to start with a unit over Money. Then we will move on to multiplication and division concepts which will later lead to performing multiplication/division problems. Finally, we will end the six weeks with patterns and two-dimensional shapes. 

**After we finish our unit over shapes we will have another home project. The details about the project will be sent home after completing our unit over shapes. Students will have two weeks to complete the home project. **

Social Studies, this week we are starting to learn about our president and past president. From there we will continue to learn about our government system. After we finish that unit we will learn about money as an income. 

Science, we will be learning about landforms! We start will a general overview of different types of landforms and how they came to be. After we will learn in depth about the water cycle and that will lead us to our unit over plants. We will start that closer to the beginning of spring. 

Religion, we are currently working on our stations of the cross. After we will continue with our unit over the sacraments and from there we will start our unit over prayers. There will be an oral prayer test that students will have to complete before we let out for Easter. A list of prayers they have to know will be going home as soon as we finish our unit over sacraments. 

Thank you all for such a great school year so far! Please let me know if there’s anything I can do or if you have any questions over anything that happens in the classroom! 

Sincerely, 
Miss Sessions
