Bs Newsflash in a dash Parent Highlight (02/18/13)

Dear Parents, Valentines Day was a hit in our second grade room. Although the goodies in the bag were certainly a fun surprise, the conversation surrounding the importance of every student was the true highlight. In honor of Valentines Day, we engaged in a math lesson focusing on using the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) to problem solve and graph candy hearts. It was a blast! Language Arts: We will continue to explore the lifecycle of animals through literature. Math: Students will compare metric measurements and find the difference between two different measurements. Social Studies: Social studies will be put on hold this week as we administer the DRA (diagnostic reading assessment). This assessment is given three times every year. Its goal is to find a students instructional reading level. Writing: Even though the informative writing assessment has come and gone, we write at least one more informative piece before we move to persuasive writing. From, Ryan P. Berardi, M.Ed.
