June 10-14

ANNOUNCEMENTS AND REMINDERS:

We will be going on another field trip to Dunn School on Friday!  If you signed the permission slip and said that you would be sending your child with a lunch from home, please remember to do so!  If you signed the permission slip and said that you wanted your child to have the lunch from Dunn, they will be receiving a packed lunch while we are there.  Let me know if you have any questions!

Next Tuesday morning (6/18)  at 10:00 a.m., we will be having an awards ceremony for Team Blowey!  Following the awards ceremony, I will be showing a slideshow with some of our favorite memories from the year.  You'll also have a chance to get autographs from the stars themselves!  I will be sending home a paper invitation tomorrow (hopefully!) to remind you as well.  I do ask that you RSVP either on the invitation itself or via email so I have a rough idea of how many people to expect.  It will help with the set up of the classroom.  The awards ceremony will be over promptly at 11:00 as we will be getting ready to go to lunch.  Please let me know if you have any questions!  We hope to see you there!

This week in...

Language Arts:  This week, we will be doing a couple of activities.  First, we'll be doing another round of reader's theatre folk tale style!  Students will be put into groups and perform different folk tales.  Students will have to work together and also practice reading their parts fluently so they can entertain the class!  My hope is that they'll have some time to create some props and backgrounds as well.  The other activity we will be doing is creating a memory book for second grade.  They'll have the chance to reminisce on their time in second grade and also some time to look forward to third grade with this activity!  

Math:  We'll be wrapping up our measurement unit this week with a performance task.  Students will collect materials from outside to create a fairy house.  They will measure their materials, make a line plot, and also answer some questions about the materials and the measurements they collected.  When they have finished collecting all of their data, they will have a chance to build their fairy houses in the woods.

Other activities:  Cursive!  Students will have the chance to practice writing their names in cursive as well as some other letters and short words.

Team Blowey Wordle:  All year long, Team Blowey has been creating wordles for each other during our all-star weeks.  My hope is that we'll be able to create a giant wordle with words that they think describe Team Blowey.

Cleaning!  We'll also be cleaning out a lot of our supplies this week and next week!
