MAY SECOND GRADE NEWS

It’s hard to believe that this school year is quickly coming to an end.  Where did the time go?  We have worked hard and many new concepts and skills have been learned.  Usually the public libraries of both Thornton and Lansing offer reading programs for the boys and girls to participate in during the summer.  I would like to encourage you to check these programs out and keep your child reading this summer.

The children have enjoyed many of the stories in our new reading book this year.  Congratulations to the many children who participated in the Pizza Hut Book-It program this year.  Many of the children are enjoying reading chapter books in the classroom in their free time. 

In math we are finishing our last chapters and then we will do a variety of review activities.  Remember to have your child practice basic addition and subtraction facts over the summer break.

Science is culminating with our plant unit.  We enjoyed planting pumpkin and sunflower seeds last week.  We will be recording their growth in our plant journals.  Please help your child transplant their plants when they take them home in a few weeks.  Hopefully your son or daughter will have their own pumpkin in October!

The children continue to enjoy learning cursive.  Our goal is to learn all the lower case letters before the end of the school year.

A special thank you to Mrs. Gbur for all her work this year as our “head room mother”.  She made sure that we had 3 great classroom parties, as well as, helped find parents to help out when needed.  We appreciate all your hard work!
