Wow! Have we been busy! Thank you Mrs. Biggs, Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Seugling for joining us on our walking field trip. We had an amazing day! We started off at the Historical Society where we learned quiet a bit about the town of New Boston and how our town used to been, many years ago. If you ever have time to stop into the Historical Society...it is a fantastic place! Check out their website!!! http://www.newbostonhistoricalsociety.com/
We continued our journey to the library and walked by Nan's House, North East Cafe, Parker Mill, the Ice House and talked about what those buildings used to be. We took the outdoor trail to the walking footbridge over to the library where Mrs. Ballou gave us a tour. Many students that do NOT have their own library card, went home with a library card application to fill out and return to the family. On our walk back we focused on the outdoor changes that we see; erosion, fast change, slow change and even some animal habitats and sign of animals!
After lunch on Friday we spent the better part of our afternoon on an erosion experiment, where we created land out of a cornmeal, salt and water mixture...we created different erosion scenarios...see pictures below!
This week we are working on diagraphs in Wonders...ch, sh, th, wh. We took our pretest today and also played Wonders games reinforcing our weekly skills and vocabulary. We will continue to reinforce these skills each day, until our test on Friday.
In math we are beginning Unit 3!!! A purple packet went home today...This is All about Unit 3. It also has all of the answers for the students Home Links that will be coming home for the entire Unit, Please hang on to this, as it will be very helpful for you when it comes time to complete math homework. PLEASE KEEP the math homework attached to the SPELLING and READING LOG and turn in together on Fridays. Thank you!
In Science we are learning about BATS! Next week we will be learning about Owls, then we will be comparing and contrasting the two! Our owl wrap up next week will be on Friday where EYES ON OWLS will be coming to school to see just the second graders. We will also have a very FUN owl surprise at the end of the day!
IN NEED OF: PAPER TOWEL/TOILET PAPER ROLLS for a STEM project this FRIDAY!
Thank you again for your support,
Mrs. LeBourveau
