MMH Grade 1 Blog!: May News!

Hello everyone!

Wow did this week ever fly by! Grade 2E has been super busy (aren’t we always?!) with many things including our first field trip of the Spring, finishing our Acadian Community unit in Social, kicking off Measurement in Math, finishing our Magnets unit in Science, and we’re just about done our Whale Study! If you haven’t yet, come check out the bulletin board in the hallway to learn some interesting facts about different types of whales that we discovered!

Speaking of Measurement in Math, we kicked off our unit with discussing measuring time, in regards to days of the week/ months of the year. Students are completing a Mini Math Journal, where they record 2 sentences of what they did each day. We have already completed Monday-Thursday in class.

MATH CHALLENGE OF THE WEEKEND!

Have your Grade 2E student on a scrap piece of paper; write down TWO SENTENCES per day about what they did this weekend! So that’s 2 sentences for Friday, 2 for Saturday, and 2 for Sunday. They will then transfer these sentences into their Mini Math Journals on Monday. Thanks for your help with this!!

Thank you to our awesome parent volunteers who came out for Aggie Days: Virginia Sprinkle, Carey Martens, Rickele Knox and Diane Barnes. It would be impossible to do trips like these without you, so thank you thank you thank you!

We have enough drivers signed up for the Feel the Beat concert on Wednesday May 18^th! Thank you to Virginia Sprinkle, Cynthia Allum, Cindy Goldhawk and Adrienne Toone!

We have enough drivers signed up for swimming on Thursday June 9^th! Thank you to Virginia Sprinkle, Louise Lindley, Frere Ayres, Adrienne Toone, and Rick Goldhawk!

*NOTE* We still need drivers for 5 more students for the SAAG Art’s Alive field trip on Wednesday May 11^th from 1:15-2:30!! This is a really cool field trip where we get to see awesome art from around the district on display! The following parents have already signed up: Cynthia Allum, Virginia Sprinkle, Cindy Goldhawk, and Adrienne Toone.

Please keep track of the important dates in May/ June! See the calendar below for some of the activities that have been planned! I’m sure there will be many that you’ll want to come to!

Thanks and have a great weekend!
