• Dear Families,

    Happy April and National Poetry Month!  With about 50 school days left, we are continuing to move full-steam ahead! Some of the highlights we will cover in April are learning more about the diversity of poetry and students creating their poetry anthologies over the next several weeks; continuing to research and present Genius Hour topics to peers; delving into all facets of understanding money (coins, bills, and electronic versions); flexing their problem-solving skills in our various digital escape rooms (for science & math concepts); testing theories with STEAM projects, such as creating kites, wind mazes, and maybe an egg drop; and taking what they learn in language arts, such as phonics, multi-syllabic words, imagery, plot and theme, adjectives, etc., to help students navigate all the nuances of schoolwork to help them create these and many other assignments! 

    Don't forget to keep up with our classroom and school happenings, via my News This Week link. Thank you, in advance, for your partnership and support in helping your children thrive in 2nd grade!  

    Kindest Regards,   

     Mrs. Clarke
