Hello Parents!
Salutations from 2B at the end of another wonderful week. We're greatly enjoying our life cycle unit (a picture of new friends in the classroom below) and we're having beautiful discussions about Friendship as we all fall in love with Charlotte's Web.
Announcements
1. Our final project of the year, our Insect Report, is quickly approaching. We will be sending the instructions out next Friday, but wanted to be sure we put it on your radar. This will be a research project that has a similar format to the Simple Machines project.
2. Chaperones for the field trip will be announced on Friday, April 5th.
3. Pre-order your DVD of the Spring Concert! DVDs will be available for purchase 1 for $20 or 2 for $35. A portion of the proceeds will be donated back to our school. There will be a table in the lobby of the concert to order it as well. http://store.estheticsinmotion.com

A Look in the Classroom
1. ELA: In Writing class we will continue our study of persuasive essays. We will parse sentences with pronouns. We will also be taking a close look at alphabetical order in preparation of our dictionary study.
2. History: We will spend some time reviewing our Civil War unit in class. We will send the study guide home on Tuesday and have the test on Friday.
3. Science: We are studying the parts of plant, plant life cycle, and parts of a seed. We will also keep a close eye on our eggs and tadpoles!
4. Math: This week we will be continuing our fractions unit. We will compare and order fractions as well as make a whole out with two or more fractions with the same denominator. At the end of the week we will be reviewing.
Assessments
1. Friday: History Test; Civil War and Spelling Test
Best,
Mrs. Bowers
