Dear Families,

Even though it was a short week, it seemed very busy!

Special thanks to Mrs. Baer and Mrs. Clark for teaching us all about how animals adapt in the winter! Below see how the children worked to help their animal "adapt" to the cold winter air.

In this month's Farm to School lesson with Ms. Meg, we learned about spaghetti squash and made a delicious spaghetti squash saute.  Check out the recipe on our school website. 

This week we completed our Nonfiction writing unit.  To celebrate, we shared our nonfiction books with Mrs. Mahl's class.  It was fun to see how many different topics the second graders wrote about! Look for your child's writing to come home in the next few weeks.  Next week, we will begin a  Persuasive writing unit. 

Other Things to Ask Your Child About:
~Using the splitting strategy to add two-digit numbers.
~Habitat stations in science workshop.
~:Learning about character change from Lily's Purple Plastic Purse and Oliver Button is a Sissy

Have a great weekend!
