Week 37

1st Grade Blog - Math

Week 37 May 22nd - 25th

It will be a busy week!  The 2nd graders will have Jr. Achievement on Monday, 8th grade Graduation at the convention center on Wednesday. We have been reading Charlotte’s Web in class and will be watching the movie on Wednesday afternoon.  Report cards and assessments will be sent home on Wednesday.  

Thursday is Field Day.  All families received an email from Oasis Academy about Field Day: label towels and clothing, sunscreen your child prior to sending them to school and only one piece swimming suits are acceptable.  Please drop off your students by 8:00 and pick up at 2:00!

We have had an AMAZING 2nd grade year!  Thank you for sharing and entrusting your children with us.  They have all touched our hearts.  Happy Summer Vacation!

Respectfully,

Mrs. Bloomfield and Miss Garcia

Dear Parents,

Teacher Appreciation Week was awesome!  Thank you so much for the lovely notes, flowers, candy, gift cards, and other gifts.  The Teacher Appreciation Week Committee did an amazing job providing the teacher’s with treats throughout the week.  Between Italian Sodas, Popcorn Buffet, Mini Bundt Cakes, and a delicious Azteca Luncheon to cap off the week, we will not need any treats for weeks.  Miss Garcia and myself are so thankful for all the “love”!

Important Announcement--We Won “Money for Movie Bell”

I am pleased to let you know the Students of Room 17 have won the “Movie Bell” Contest.  Our class along with Mrs. WindRiver’s class brought in the most money for the Fallon Youth Club.  I am so proud of the students of Room 17 for their donations to a very worthy organization!!  Both classes will be celebrating their win on Tuesday, May 16th.  Mrs. O’Flaherty has arranged for all students in both classes to have 2 tacos and enjoy the movie, Sing.  Because there are 3 different lunch periods involved, we will enjoy our lunch at 12:15 pm rather than our normal 11:30 am.  Also if students don’t like tacos or will not be full with 2 tacos, they should bring additional food to enjoy.  All students will need to bring their on drink as drinks will not be provided!  Thank you for supporting your child in this opportunity to give back to the community!

Math

This week in math students will be learning some new games and reviewing math standards that have been worked on over the year.  Along with reviewing in math, students will be completing assessments for report cards.  This will be a very busy time, as much of our time will be spent assessing small groups of students and individuals.

Final Week of Math Homework...

Since this is the last week for homework and we will be doing lots of review, students will get to pick their own IXL Objectives to work on.  We are just asking that students pick an objective and work on it for 15 minutes every night.  It can be any 2nd grade objective that your child selects.   

It certainly was a beautiful weekend for Mother’s Day!  Miss Garcia and myself  hope all our “Bighorn” Moms had a fantastic, love filled Mother’s Day!!

Sincerely,

Anne Bloomfield

Week 35--Happy Mother's Day!!

Dear Bighorn Parents,

Here we are in May!!  We are winding down with only 12 days left of school.  This year is quickly coming to an end, but there is still work to be done.

We have completed instruction in all standards in 2nd grade math.  For the remainder of the year, we will be reviewing standards in 2nd grade math.  This week we will identify 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional shapes, partitioning 2 dimensional shapes, and reviewing measurement with metric and customary units.  Since these are review standards, some of the IXL objectives will be repeats.  Please have your student work on the assigned objectives for 15 minutes.

Here’s the homework for the week...

Monday	IXL U.6 Identify Shapes Traced from Solids
Tuesday	IXL U.8 Shapes of Everyday Objects Part 2
Wednesday	IXL S.9 Which Metric Unit of Length is Appropriate?
Thursday	IXL S.3  Which Customary Unit of Length is Appropriate?

Projects

Last week in projects students dissected a tulip and worked on identifying parts that included stamen, anther, filament, pistil, stigma, style, and ovary.  They had a blast checking out all the parts we have read, discussed, and drawn.   Students also started creating their plant model.  This work will continue this week.

2nd Graders dissecting flowers.

It’s hard to believe that we are down to the last few weeks as a second grade class.  The next 3 weeks will go very fast.  While Miss Garcia and myself will be sad to see our second graders get ready for third grade, we will look back with many fond memories.

Happy Mother’s Day to all our Moms!!  We hope that you have a special day filled with joy and love!!

Sincerely,

Anne Bloomfield
