Grammar/Writing: We will review this week all the parts of speech we have learned thus far – nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions, interjections, and prepositions.

Bible: In Bible this week, we will continue reading in Joshua.

History: This week, Grammar 2 will enjoy looking at and reading our history notebooks compiled from the year.

Science: This week we continue our last unit of study- the seashore habitat.  We will enjoy a couple of activities related to this final unit.

Water Bottles: Students will be allowed to keep water bottles in their cubbies.  Please send a water bottle daily so that we do not need to make unnecessary trips to the water fountain.

Take Home Folders: Each day your child should bring home a green take home folder that we use to communicate.  Please check it daily for notes from me and school notices, and use it to send notes to me.  Anything needing a parent signature will be clearly marked/stamped with “Parent Signature Requested.”

Assignment Notebook: This notebook will also come home each day as a record of all homework due dates, and test dates.  Check this daily and initial next to completed work.

Reading: Each night 2nd Graders are expected to read for 20 minutes.  In this second part of our school year, we expect  students to read independently.  This can be reading aloud to the parent or older sibling, or reading silently to themselves.  If your child is reading silently to themselves, a periodic “check-up” on comprehension is recommended. We will be helping your child choose a book for independent reading, which can be used for this reading requirement.  Though we will write the titles in the reading log, you need not log minutes read.

Birthdays: You are welcome to bring in a treat for students to celebrate your child’s birthday.  Please let us know ahead of time.

As I reflect on the year, I think of the variety of music we sang, the activities we did for reinforcing music theory, and the composers we studied.  Students, you bring the music to life.  Thank you for a splendid, music-filled year at Live Oak.  Blessings to you as you complete this school year and begin your summer vacation.  I look forward to more music next school year.
