Dear 2B Families,
Welcome to Week 24.
Class picture day is tomorrow, February 4th!
There is no school this Friday, February 7th. Teachers have network inservice.
Great Hearts Day is coming up on February 14th.
We had a fantastic Field Day. 2B demonstrated strength, perseverance, and sportsmanship!
Below is a link to some pictures of the day. Thanks go to Stiliana Sokolowski for taking and sharing these!

Here is our week of academics:
MATHEMATICS
This week we will be focusing on finishing up our 5s, and practicing our 10s. Fact Families towards the end of the week will be our main focus as well. As a reminder, we encourage you to practice XTraMath in your spare time, or flashcards to help boost fluency!
HW
Monday: Division Worksheet
Tuesday: WB Exercise 8, Pg. 49-51
Wednesday: WB Exercise 9, Pg. 52-54
Thursday: Xtra Math or fact practice
POETRY
Scholars should focus on memorizing the fifth and final stanza of "Smart" by Shel Silverstein. Remember, your child is working towards complete memorization of this poem by this Thursday, February 6th.
SPELLING
We continue cursive instruction. There are NO spelling words. There will be handwriting homework each evening. Scholars will learn how to write cursive capital letters and then how to write each multi-letter phonogram.
LITERATURE and WRITING
Scholars read Chapter 6 and 7 of Little House in the Big Woods. They will meet two bears in the woods and learn how to bleed maple trees for syrup! Our copywork is a lengthy sentence from our story. We summarize “The Story of Pa and the Bear in the Way” and then a passage on “bleeding” trees.
GRAMMAR
Scholars learn how to identify the part of speech of a single word this week. Then your child will begin to learn to learn about paragraphs in preparation for writing a paragraph of his or her own. Ask him or her to explain to you what a topic is!
SCIENCE
This week, we will be exploring what it means to eat a well-balanced diet and stay healthy. Please send in any food-centered magazines you may have for a fun meal-planning activity early in the week.
HISTORY
We are continuing to explore America's history and what it means to be an American. The War of 1812 is an integral time in our nation's history and it is what we will be continuing our studies with. Ask your child what impressment means. Hint: It's not drawing attention to oneself.
Have a great week!
Mrs. Dill
