This week, In Math, we continued chapter 7 by discussing the distributive property, and began covering how to write and solve algebraic expressions. We will continue this concept after break and also extend on this to cover inequalities.

ELA

In ELA, we finished our narratives and ended the week by watching the Percy Jackson movie. When we return from break, we will be reflecting on the choices we made for our narrative and create a multimedia presentation all about the choices we made for our narratives and how it affected the original scene from the novel.

Science

In Science, our lesson this week focused on connecting weather to the idea of climate and how the results in different climates around the Earth. We took a quiz on this topic today. This was the last lesson of this unit, so when we return from break, we will be starting Unit 5, which discusses the Environmental and Genetic Influence on Organisms.

History

Finally, In History, we continued our unit on Ancient Greece with learning about Athens and Sparta and even the Olympic Games! When we return from break, we will be introducing the Greek Museum and working on preparing a poster for that event!

Greek Museum Information When we return from break we will be introducing the Greek Museum, which the students are always very excited about! This event will take place on Thursday, March 12th, and we will be inviting the second graders to come and visit! Students will be creating a costume and speech for their characters at home and will be creating a foam board poster for their characters in class the week we return from break.

We need each student to have a foam board to work on by Thursday, February 27th. Please get your child a white 20 x 30 inch foam board - not a tri-fold - just one of the thicker posters that can stand on a chair, and if you are able to send in extras for others who may not have one that would be greatly appreciated!

Also if you have any extra crafting supplies (scrapbook paper, squiggle scissors, rhinestones, ribbon, etc) that would help the students decorate their boards, that you are willing to donate, the kids would really appreciate it!
