Dear Parents,

Even though we are in March and spring will be upon us in a few short weeks, winter is gripping the city of Fallon!  Though weather is supposed to be warmish for the beginning part of the week but will be chilly by the end of the week!  Please dress your child appropriately for the temperature!

Math
Students have completed a unit on adding and subtracting with 100 and 1,000 with renaming.  We focused on the Branching Strategy and the Partial Sum and Partial Difference Strategy.  Although we are done with this unit students will continue to practice with Problem of the Day and daily "Do Nows".

This week students will be working on the concept of time.  Students will be building on the skills learned in 1st grade to tell time to the nearest 5 minute interval and students will also be labeling with times with am or pm.  This unit will be completed in a week.  With students assessing on Thursday.

Tues.   IXL Q.6  Time Words--O'Clock, Half, and Quarter 
Wed.    IXL Q.7 AM or PM

Language and Writing
Students will be learning about using commas in a list and in the greeting and closing of a friendly letter.  As students learn about commas they will be writing a letter to a Leprechaun asking the Leprechaun to grant them a wish!  It will be be interesting to see what 2nd grade students wish for.

Projects
This past week students did a little research on land forms and bodies of water.  Students were assigned a specific land form or body of water to define, draw, learn where it would be found in the world, and students need to find 2 different interesting facts about their land form or body of water.  Students will be taking the information a creating a slide to go into a classroom slideshow on land forms and bodies of water. 

Last week your child brought home a flyer about collecting "box tops".  This is an easy way to support Oasis Academy.  Please collect "box tops" for Oasis Academy.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Bloomfield
