A Peek at the Week This week we will read a selection titled, A Big Bushy Mustache In this story, a young boy named Ricky wants to look more like his father. So, he borrows part of a costume from school and then loses it on his way home. As we read this story, students will describe the characters, including how they feel and respond to challenges, the setting and plot using the illustrations and words in a print or digital text.

In math, we will begin Topic 12 - Measuring Length. Students will learn how to estimate and measure length using different customary units. This week students will measure length using inches, feet, and yards. Next week, students will measure length using centimeters and meters.

In science, we will continue to discuss matter. Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass. Students have learned that there are three states of matter (solids, liquids, and gases). We will conduct various edible (ones we can eat) science experiments involving matter.

Permission slips will be sent home after spring break. This is a free field trip for all second grade students. Sack lunches will be provided for all students from the cafeteria. Our second grade classes were awarded a grant from Target to pay for this field trip experience. Due to the bus and museum limitations, adult chaperones will be limited. Students that demonstrate poor behavior at school will not be able to participate on this field trip or an adult must attend the field trip with them. If it’s difficult for a student to listen and follow directions at school, then please understand our concern in taking them out of town on a field trip.
