The combined Silly Hippo Water Dragons are coming soon to a classroom near you! Our New Boston School Boarded voted to move forward to the next phase with a start day of Monday, April 5th. This means that in three weeks all 22 students will be coming into the building Monday through Thursday with a remote learning day on Friday. I am so excited to see my second graders more days during the week! I also have to secretly admit that I will not miss creating and scheduling the mass amount of Seesaw assignments for remote days... 🤫 As with any transition, there will be some bumps, but we will work through them together. As always, reach out if you have questions, and I will do my best to help!
We have started our Reading Challenge! The entire school is trying to come together and compete in the Iditaread Challenge. How many books can we read? We are on the Red Team (K, 2, and 5) and we hit the ground running. As your child reads at home, have them color in boxes to keep track. You can log them at home OR I can help them log their books at school. Click here to log in those books (or look on Seesaw). We started our Changing Earth unit this week! We talked about ways the earth can change fast! You may have heard some talk about tornados, floods, or volcano videos. Next week, we'll be talking about the less exciting changes: slow changes. You can see these changes all around you if you know where to look! Some students even observed a mini river thanks to our melting snow in the playground. Looking forward to doing some experiments next week to look closer at the ways our world can change slowly. These second graders have been ROCKSTARS this year. They've earned another reward and both classes chose movies (I may have to take that choice off next time... 😂). We will come up with movie ideas today at our Friday Zoom Check-In and have a permission slip to sign on Monday/Tuesday. Be on the lookout for those little slips of paper! Up Coming Events: 🌼 Saturday, March 20th - Spring is in the air 🍀 March 17th - Saint Patrick's Day, Trimester 2 Grades Close A Look Ahead: 🌊 Slow Changes in science 🛷 Reading challenge has begun! 🤓 Math assessment - Unit 5 is complete!
