Second Grade News
Dear Parents and Families,
We are entering the second half of this school year. We have
accomplished so much but still have a lot of work ahead of us. The
coming months will be full of learning and special activities for our
students.
We are excited to announce that second grade will perform
Woolbur, a play full of delightful music about a mischievous sheep,
at our February PTA meeting. The program will be on Thursday, February
16, 2012 at 7 p.m. in our school cafeteria. Students need to wear jeans
and a white golf shirt or t-shirt and tennis shoes. You will not want to
miss this event!
We are working on scheduling another field trip and will be sending
information home as this becomes available. All field trip chaperones
and volunteers (including school-wide and classroom volunteers) must
register on-line at duvalschools.org (under “community” section – see
“volunteer information”). Please allow two weeks for processing. As
a reminder, each class will be wearing a specific color t-shirt on field
trips.
Class Colors:
Mrs. Huber/Ms. Ley – Green
Ms. Miller – Yellow
Mrs. Quillen - Orange
Mr. Schultz – Royal Blue
Mrs. Brock - Red
Mrs. Smith - White
In the coming weeks your child will be learning reading strategies such as making judgments, summarizing, identifying the main idea and supporting details, making predictions, and evaluating literature. We recently began functional writing (how to do something). The students look forward to writing each day because they enjoy this form of writing so much. Our social studies will focus on people at work and learning about people as “producers” and “consumers.” In mathematics, students are developing strategies for understanding, interpreting, and extending patterns. We are learning about our heart, lungs, and brain in science. Following this unit, we will begin observing and measuring properties of matter.
Please note that Spring Break is Monday, March 19, 2012 through Friday, March 23, 2012. We will resume school on Monday, March 26, 2012.
As you can see, we are a busy group of second graders. Please make every effort possible to have your child at school on time and present each day.
Thank you for your continued support,
Second Grade Teachers
