November 14th-November 18th

Greetings Families,

We have a full week ahead, with no half days or days off.  This may feel a little different because November is so full of short weeks!  We will dive into our next math unit: Mental Addition.  This unit will provide students with strategies to add in their heads.  Please continue to practice math facts at home to solidify these skills.  Last week I put a login sheet into the back sleeve of the binder.  This sheet provides all the logins for programs we use at school, which can be used at home too!

        In reading we are continuing Unit 2: Working Together.  This week we will explore the question: How has working together changed history?  We will learn about Abraham Lincoln and his effects on our history. 

        This Friday we have our November All School Meeting which 2^nd grade will be hosting.  We hope to see you there!

This week’s focus words are as follows:

If you have any questions, please call the school, email me: alipal1@gpsk12.org or write me a note in the O.W.L. binder. 

All the Best,
