June!

Hello! Hard to believe it's here, but welcome to June!
Here's what to expect over the next 3 weeks:

ELA- We will be doing "Week 5" next week and will take a Unit 6 assessment the week of June 11th. We have been enjoying reading some chapter books together and "fine tuning" some of the skills we've worked on this year.  Unit 6 has had a main focus on cause and effect, fact and opinion, making judgments, main idea, and summarizing.

Math- We are wrapping up Module 8 and will take our assessment on Tuesday next week (6/5). After that we will do activities that help us review some of the skills we've learned.

Science- We're wrapping up magnets! Have your child tell you some cool tricks they've learned! Or ask them if they can "make a magnet."

Homework- I told the class today they will have a review sheet for homework on Monday (6/4) and they will get 2 more yellow ELA homework packets (week of 6/4 and week of 6/11).  Once their last ELA packet is finished they'll have no more homework for 2nd grade!

You may be wondering with everything finishing up what we will do with ourselves....the week of June 11th will be our "Theme Days" each day will have a different theme for the day! We'll have a lemonade day, pickle day, popcorn day, bubble day and ice-cream day!

Permission slips for our last field trip will be coming home next week. We will be touring the fire station, police station and town offices. We are asking for a $5 donation that will go towards the cost of transportation and our end of year activities (theme days, picnic, etc.)

Important Dates:

Tuesday, June 19th- field trip day
Wednesday, June 20th- 2nd grade picnice
Thursday, June 21st- FUN DAY- please send a hat/sunglasses and sunscreen. We will be in the afternoon session this year.
Friday, June 22nd- LAST DAY! This will be a half day of school. Stay tuned for dismissal times.

Whew-The next 3 weeks are going to be busy, crazy and most of all FUN! Here's to capping off a great year!
