Happy 4th quarter!
Can you believe that we only have ONE quarter of the school year left?! It's been an amazing ride so far, and I'm excited for the the weeks yet to come! Here's a look back at last week. There was a lot of learning going on!
Acting out Palm Sunday...
Although the QR codes didn't work so well, the children
really had to think hard during this contraction activity...
Persuasive Writing introduction...
It's called "Making Thinking Visual" with
a "Tug of War"
Then, we learned how to write persuasive paragraphs
with "OREO writing"...
Did you know Dr. Seuss had a birthday last week?
Your children read his books all week...
And we even wrote persuasive writing pieces
on whether or not to eat green eggs???
It actually turned into TWO debates...
Ask your second grader if they liked the eggs with artificial food dye
or the green spinach (Or neither!).
Come check out the hallway if you'd like to read everyone's opinion!
The kiddos were SO excited to "get paid," but
they were NOT excited to be taxed!
The economics unit is going really well. Be on the lookout for a note coming home about the "market day" that we will have after spring break. This project will give the students a chance to purchase goods or services with their income.
RELIGION
WOW!! I knew we could do it! You all blew my mind again, bringing in $141.56 for Tilda, our sponsor Uganda child!!! That is amazing!!! Way to finish strong! In total we raised more than enough to cover costs for her schooling!! (Our grand total was roughly $340!) Thank you second graders for working hard to earn change for this collection, and thank you families for supporting this amazing cause so dear to our school.
The word garden usually conjures up images of a beautiful outdoor area full of life. When we think of the Garden of Eden we see a perfect paradise. Fast forward a few thousand years and you again find the Lord walking through a Garden, but there was nothing spectacular about the Garden of Gethsemane. Yet, it was there that Jesus Christ began His final plunge into the depths of agony in order to take away our sins. This week we will grow in our understanding of the enormous task that Jesus faced and completed, carrying the sins of the world.
MEMORY WORK
If we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9

WRITING
I'm sure this is no surprise, but you children have become quite the expert persuasive writers. This week we will finish up a few paragraphs on a few different topics using what they know about the writing process.
SOCIAL STUDIES
We will continue our study of economics this week focusing on the choices people make related to earning, spending and saving money. We will also discuss trade and how it relates to our economy. Keep your eyes peeled for a note coming home explaining the "market day" we will have after spring break. For Market Day, your second graders will be deciding on a good to sell or a service to provide. They will use the money they have been earning in class to act as consumers in the market.
TEST will be this Friday, March 11th
