Hello Second Grade Families,
Only 3 days of school this week and one is our field trip!
Here is the note I will send home with the students as a reminder to be ready for our field trip Wednesday!
Our field trip is Wed. 5/27!!!!!
We suggest sending:
sun block
a hat
light coat
plastic water bottle
snack
Backpack to keep it all organized!
Your child might need:
If you signed up to bring lunch from home, please make sure it has a few snacks in it.
Electronic devices (non-internet) are allowed but we will not be responsible for them and they should not leave the bus.
If they bring a baseball glove, please make sure their name is on it.
We cannot bring any food or drink into the game- backpacks will be checked if we bring them in. They are allowed to bring in one empty water bottle to fill at the bubblers. You do not have to send any money with your child for this trip. That being said, there is a $2 slide and a $1 spin game as well as a huge free sandbox, climber, hill to roll down and a waffle ball play area. They also have a concession stand that sells food and a merch store. Sometimes there is also an air bouncy house/slide/pitching game for $2 each or $7 unlimited wrist band. They could not guarantee those air things would be set up though- it depends on the wind and the number of employees available for it.
Thank you!
Mrs. Brotz and Mrs. Naparalla

Module 10: Many Cultures, One World
HELLO, FAMILY!
Over the next three weeks, our class will be learning about the different cultures and traditions of people all around the world.
We will read about the ways that people celebrate and honor their heritage, and we’ll see a video of the different lunches that children enjoy in other countries. Children will also write a thank-you letter to someone who shared information about their culture.
BRING IT HOME! Learning fun for the whole family!
Big Idea Words. Reinforce these important topic words when you are reading or talking with your child: culture, harmony, heritage.
Try to incorporate questions like these into everyday conversations:
· What culture would you like to learn more about?
· What are some ways we can all live in harmony with each other?
· What do you know about our family’s heritage?
Let’s Read Together. Make a special time and place to read with your child every day.
During this module about world cultures, try these activities during your reading time together:
· Snap your fingers when culture is mentioned in the text. This could be customs, traditions, food, art, music, or clothing.
· Talk about how characters or people in the text learn from each other’s differences.
· As you read, talk about new words you encounter and how you can figure out what they mean.
Word Play. Play with words to help develop skills that are important for reading.
Week 1: Prefix Practice
Use a dictionary to find words with the prefix mis–. Remove the prefix and see how the word meanings change.
Week 2: Fun with Syllables
Write multisyllabic words on slips of paper. Draw a slip of paper and hop forward the number of syllables in each word. Designate a finish line and play until someone wins.
Week 3: Tic-Tac-Toe
Make a tic-tac-toe board. Write a word with ei, ey, y, or ey in each square, leaving out the letters that spell the vowel sound. To mark X or O in a square, players must write the missing letters and say the word. For example: w _ _ gh, weigh.
Math
We will come close to finishing unit 6. I don't think I will have them take the unit assessment- we have had many assessments lately and I think I have all the information I need to complete report cards!
Please help your child practice telling time and counting money this summer!
