Classroom News September 28th

Dear Parents,
   Welcome to the third full week of school.  This week we have a couple of exciting things happening.  Tuesday is our first field experience.  The second grade is going to the West Eugene Wetlands.  It is going to be clear and cold.  PLEASE make sure your child has a warm coat as the temperature is forecasted at around 50 degrees Tuesday morning.  Wednesday evening is curriculum night.  I look forward to seeing all of you in attendance! 
   In class we are testing towers this week.  Our engineering challenge included creating a tower 45 centimeters or taller. Our towers must also pass a wind challenge. I'm hoping to get some tower pictures posted on the blog later today. It is very exciting indeed.  In science we are also beginning our study of the wetland habitat. 
   On Wednesday we will have our first class party.  Our class earned 50 points for a popcorn party!  This is a day your child will not want to miss.  
   Finally, many of you responded you wanted more homework for your child.  I have included extra pages this week. To make my process simple all homework folders are stuffed with the same pages. Please remember, if you have your own homework routines and you prefer not to have your child complete the worksheets, you may recycle the ones I have provided. Spelling homework will be explained at curriculum night. Reading is the only homework required in second grade.
Have a wonderful week,
Donna
