Because of the fact that I will not be at school on Wednesday, Apr. 1st I am posting a few important items for the week that we return from Easter break.  There is no school on Monday, April 6th for the last day of break but once we return we will be jumping right back into the swing of things!

Curriculum

During our literacy block in the morning we will be taking a look at the children’s classic tale of Peter and the Wolf.  This will allow us to look at elements of classic folktales more closely as well as give us an opportunity to take a glimpse into the wonderful world of music.  We will also continue with our practice of the uppercase cursive letters.  Before you know it we will be writing a lot of things using our newly acquired skill!  Telling time will continue to be our focus during math time.  We still have so much to cover and so little time to do so!

Spelling Words

bolt            jolt        colt         felt        belt        welt        built        stilt         wilt         melt         salt          face          set          tally

Challenge Words:           vertices                edge

There will be a note going home later that will explain in greater detail, however, the 2nd grade class will be making our annual trip to the Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital in Lincoln on April 16th.  We will be leaving the Emden building around 11:40 and returning around 3:00 that day.  It is always a wonderful event put on that gives second graders across Logan county the opportunity to better understand how our community’s hospital works and hopefully makes them feel more at ease if they ever have to make an unplanned visit.

Enjoy your Easter/Spring break everyone!
