Dear Bighorn Parents,
Although last week was a short week due to the Martin Luther King holiday, it was
definitely a busy one in 2nd grade.
Math
In math we have continued our work in measurement. Students have spent quite a
bit of time estimating and measuring in both customary (inches) and metric
(centimeters). In class we have been discussing what unit of measurement is appropriate for measuring items. For example you wouldn’t measure the length of the room in inches or centimeters. We will continue our work in measurement this week.

Language
Students have been learning about pronouns (words that take the place of a noun).
We have worked with personal pronouns (I, you, they, and we... to name a few),
possessive pronouns which show ownership (mine, his hers, and theirs), and
finally reflexive pronouns (himself, ourselves, and myself).
Personal Pronoun Example
My brothers went fishing last Saturday.
They went fishing last Saturday.
Possessive Pronoun Example
Mike’s fish was the biggest.
His fish was the biggest.
Reflexive Pronoun Example
Mike unhooked the fish himself.
We will finish up with pronouns this week and move onto compound words.
Projects
We are just finishing learning about solids, liquids, and gases. Students have
been enjoying a series of videos called Mystery Science and doing the activities
that come with them. The final piece will be using knowledge about the properties of
matter to come up with an invention. Next week we will moving into a new
project area of Geography, stay tuned!!
Sincerely,
Anne Bloomfield
and
Shannon Garcia
