The Weber Weekly

We had a short, but very busy week last week.  Big thanks to the families of Marty and Carrie for being our Snazzy Snack shoppers for the month of February.  The kids loved making "Berry Good Pizza".  I can't believe we only have a few recipes left before our books are complete.  The kids are going to be so excited to share their recipe books with you at the end of second grade!  Check out a couple of our pictures:

 
In reading we continued using a biography chart to track important information while reading biographies.  Some facts that we charted included the person's birth, early life, education, family, important accomplishments, and death.

The kids have been working very hard on their cursive letters in writing.  I'm amazed at how well they are doing!  We're also working on another expository writing piece.  Your child should now be able to write an introduction, three ideas with supporting details, and a conclusion for their expository topic.  They will be bringing home their writing this week; you will be so proud!

Our measurement unit is still in full swing.  Last week we learned all about weight, including ounces and pounds.  This week we're moving onto telling time. 

We began our living & nonliving science unit last week.  The kiddos are learning the traits of living things and how they connect to our environment.  This week we'll be exploring the life cycle of plants and animals.

Don't forget to return your conference preference form at your earliest convenience.   Remember that you must check whether you'd like to have a phone conference or a conference at school.  As soon as I get all the forms back, I will be able to send home your scheduled spring conference time. 

The Million Minutes and February homework calendars are due Thursday. 

Did you hear we took 2nd place in the Creekside Cares Food Drive?!  I'm so proud of the giving second graders we have in our class.  Your child earned a certificate as well as a free dinner coupon for Pepe's Mexican.  Way to go!!
