Dear 2A Families,

We have done it! Our last week before break is here. I hope everyone has a beautiful holiday. 

 Please bring a sturdy bag for Wednesday. We will be cleaning out our desks so that the cleaning crew can do a deep cleaning over the winter break.

 Also encourage your child to bring their favorite stuffed animal on Wednesday as well! :)

Announcing our next literature selection! Please send in your child’s copy of Little House in the Big Woods. We will begin this book directly after break. It will be important for scholars to have it ready and available!

SPELLINGThere are no spelling words this short week. Scholars will be taking 70 phonogram assessment and reviewing spelling rules and manuscript handwriting in preparation for cursive instruction next semester! Please be on the lookout for handwriting homework on Monday.

We are finishing up our Unit for Multiplication and Division with 2s and 3s! We will have our last quiz of the semester on Tuesday. Please go over the study guide on Monday night with your child. Have a wonderful break!

HISTORY
This week, we are wrapping up the wonderful unit on ancient Greece. A study guide will be coming home Today. Please be sure to study for Wednesday's test. The scholars have really enjoyed this unit, so I know they will do wonderful! 

SCIENCE
This week, we have one final lesson on insects! Are they friends, or are they foes? Your scholar will have to listen carefully to find out! 

With Grateful Hearts,

Mrs.Guevara and Mr. Kiehne
