This week, In Math, we continued working through chapter 8 by introducing box plots and when to use them. We will continue this chapter next week with a focus on writing multiplication equations with independent and dependent variables.
In ELA, we began our final book study for the year, Frightful's Mountain. This study has a focus on informational text and tracing arguments. We have started looking at different information sources and determining if an argument is well supported with evidence. Next week, we will continue this practice with a new article and also take an assessment on this topic on Tuesday. To finish out the week we will think about how different interactions can have different consequences and prepare for a fishbowl conversation.
In Science, our lesson this week introduced how sexual and asexual reproduction affects genetic diversity. We took a quiz on this concept today. Next week, we will continue unit 5 with Lesson 4, discussing how the environment and genetics affect plant survival.
Finally, In History, we finished our final lesson of Ancient Greece talking about Alexander the Great and all of his accomplishments. Then we finished the week with an assessment as well as the Greek Museum! The kids did such a great job acting like their Greek Character counterparts and the second graders loved it! Next week we will be pausing our history curriculum due to the minimum conference days. After that, we will be starting our next unit on Ancient Rome!

CAASPP Headphones!
CAASPP testing will take place starting the second week through the rest of April. Students are expected to have a set of headphones on campus that they have access to. About half of the students in our class have a set at school. These headphones CANNOT be wireless - they will not connect to the computers while in the secure browser. Students CANNOT start the test unless they have headphones. Please start sending them into class or make sure that your student has a pair they can bring by Friday, March 28th.

Spring Conferences
Spring Conferences are coming up next week, March 16th - 20th. This means that each day is a minimum day with an 11:40 AM release time. I have already requested a conference if I feel like one is needed to best support your child through the end of the year. I look forward to meeting with you and discussing how to best support you and your kiddos moving forward to the end of the year! If you did receive and invite for a conference and would like to meet virtually, please let me know by leaving a comment (in parent square) or emailing me.
Thank you!
