Happy 2018 Bighorn Families,
Happy New Year!! Miss Garcia and myself hope you enjoyed your holiday season as much as we did. It was great fun to spend time baking, shopping, traveling, and enjoying the company of family and friends. Vacation was very relaxing and we feel so ready to come back to school. We can hardly wait to see all the kiddos!!
We'd like to send out a huge thank you for all the wonderful Christmas gifts. After school on December 20th, we were presented with a Christmas stocking filled with all sorts of wonderful goodies. We were very overwhelmed with such a generous gifts. Thank you so much!!
Our Christmas Party was a hit thanks to the many parents that donated goodies and their time to run a station. It was fun for both 2nd grade classes to be together and have choices about their activities. Here are a few pictures from our party.
The week of before Winter Break our classes were hit hard by the flu, with many absent children and the excitement of vacation and Christmas it was not a good time to assess on 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional shapes. That being said we will start the new year reviewing 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional shapes on Monday and assess on Tuesday.
On Wednesday and Thursday students will begin with measuring. Second graders will be expected to work on and meet the following standards:
- measure to determine which objects are longer than others
- estimate lengths using centimeters, inches, and feet
- measure an object twice using different units of measurements
- select appropriate tools such as rulers, yardsticks or measuring tapes in order to measure accurately.

As Miss Garcia and myself look back on 2017, we can't believe the changes we've seen in the students. With 2017 behind us, we’re excited to see the growth and development that 2018 will bring!
Sincerely,
Anne Bloomfield

Shannon Garcia
