2A Families, Thank you for joining us for parent teacher conference week! It was a pleasure to meet all of you and share about your child’s progress. We now have the sign up geniuses for classroom volunteers! You can find the links on the volunteering tab on the homepage. As a reminder, Read-A-Thon is on Thursday. Please no pop culture costumes! We also have a half day this Friday. Students will be dismissed at 11:45am. MATH Our next unit is weight! A fun little activity at the grocery store during next week: use the scales to see how much a pound of fruit or vegetables weigh. Add and subtract the items to see the different weights! LITERATURE Scholars read Chapter 5 of The Boxcar Children. Our vocabulary words are kettle and bundles. We will discuss resourcefulness as a character trait and how it relates to the children in our story. POETRY Recitations of “Merry Autumn Days” begin and will be carried on throughout the week. SPALDING There are 20 words this week.
