We hope you had a lovely 4 day weekend! Our teachers spent two glorious days working and learning in order to enrich your child's education experience at Caraway.
We are continuing our conversation about the responsibilities of being a 2nd grader. We discussed how responsible students can pack their own snack at home. Many of our friends have been forgetting to bring a snack. We have extra snacks for students who occasionally forget. Please help your child remember to bring a snack each day.

Monday (2/19): No School. Professional Development for teachers

Life Skill of the Week: Cooperation: To work together toward a common goal or purpose
This week in Reading and Writing Workshop...
We will spend time this week review expectations of Reading and Writing Workshop. We will also review reading strategies we've learn and discuss the strategies we use on a daily basis. We will complete a whole class research project then take time reviewing writing strategies we've learned before we move on to our next unit in writing.
{Reading Homework}: I would like for the students to use Reading A-Z (the app is Kids A-Z) to read each night. My own first graders loves to choose her book, listen to it, then read it to me. She completes the quiz on her own because the questions can be read to her. It takes us about 8-10 minutes. This is the perfect amount of time to spend on reading each afternoon or evening! In my experience it is much more effective to allow children to choose what they read at home.
This week in Math...
We will continue learning addition strategies to help us solve problems. We have learned the make ten strategy. We have practiced this skill by playing a domino game. Just like any strategy we have talked about how this may work for some friends but maybe not for all of us. We will continue to use our other math strategies to solve problems.
This week in Science...
We will continue our study of Interdependence of Organisms. We learned about the body parts of a fish and it's habitat last week. This week we will learn more about adaptations, movement, food and life cycle.
This week in Social Studies...
We will continue our conversation on Good and Services. We will discuss how people in our community provide the goods and services we need to live everyday. We will also observe President's Day. We will learn about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. We will discuss their accomplishments as Presidents and learn why they are celebrated each year.
