Dear 2-H Families,

We’ve been very busy in room #102.  I’ve included a few “tidbits” to keep you aware of classroom happenings.

Language Arts: We’ve dissected 2 great stories, “Trouble at the Sandbox” and “Snowshoe Hare’s Winter Home”.  We focused on character, setting, and problem. Currently, we’re creating spin-off story versions of “Snowshoe Hare’s Winter Home”. We’ve brainstormed story ideas, jotted down ideas, and have started the beginning and middle portions of our stories. They are looking to be very fun.

Handwriting: We’re working hard to increase our printing skills. You’ll enjoy a few letter samples in today’s mail.

Math: We’re reviewing addition & subtraction strategies. We’re completing story problems and identifying whether or not we need to add or subtract to solve.

Homework:  We’ve had great homework participation. Thank you in advance for returning your child’s homework sheet each Monday.

Field trips: We sure enjoyed the play today at MCT. Please ask your student what they liked best.            Tomorrow, we’ll walk to the PEAS Farm, weather permitting. Please help your student to dress appropriately for the outdoor field trip.

Hope you’re ALL doing well….                                                                                                                Sherrie H.
