Week of October 14 - 17

Dear Parents, 
     We have almost made it through the 1st 9 weeks already! Time flies! We just wanted to remind you that students are now coming back to class beginning at 8:00 a.m. to prepare for our day. Also, as we will be taking end of the 9 weeks tests, please make every effort to have your child here at school for the entire day. We know it will help your child be successful!  :)
Thank you for your support, 
The 2nd grade teachers

Social Studies- Students are learning about the continents and oceans. Also, we are discussing where we are on the map and zooming from our planet all the way to the continent, then the country, the state, and the city we live in.
