Curriculum
Yes, the past few weeks have been quite busy but the next three weeks will be even more jam packed full of fun and educational activities! We will be continuing our introduction of lower case cursive letters. Students are extremely anxious to get started writing in cursive but must first learn the fundamentals of this new style of handwriting. Reading will give us the opportunity to examine the science behind bridges as we explore the history and basics of some of the world’s most famous bridges. Our topic for the next several weeks is “Building Bridges”!During our Social Studies time, we will be exploring the Seven Continents and learn a little about their culture and way of life.
Spelling Words: well large must big even grew stew drew chew few brew color shape knew

Other Announcements
We will not be doing Show & Tell during the month of December. Second grade has been struggling a bit with listening skills and had problems staying quiet and focused while their peers were sharing with the class their special things. After several reminders and warnings, I had to take that privilege away for 1 month to help them remember the importance of showing respect to those who are talking. Also pertaining to show & tells, I am asking that each student bring no more than 2 items in once it resumes in January. We have had several students bringing in 6-8 things which is not allowing us to learn as much as we can about these special things that are being shared with us. Thank you for your help and support!
Book orders will be sent home today. These will be due by next Friday, December 5th!
Hope that everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!
