Week of April 13 - 17, 2015

Good Morning Parents!

 For the last few weeks during our IB block we have been studying about the economic cycle. Mrs. Graves was kind enough to talk to the entire 2^nd grade about the process that she goes through to make hard decisions in regards to our budget here at Roberts Elementary. After her talk, Mrs. Graves gave all the 2^nd grade classes a challenge. The students were asked to make a pro/con list and persuade her to either spend $5,000 on ebooks or hardbound books for the school next year. We turned in our persuasive writing letters to Mrs. Graves on Friday and we should be hearing back from her this week. We will keep you posted on her decision. The majority of the class voted on hardbound books.

For the next two weeks, in the following subjects we will be working on…

Language Arts- abbreviations; quotation marks; final syllables –tion, -ture, -ion; prepostions

Reading- author’s purpose, draw conclusions

Math- review place value, place value notation for ten-thousands, addition number stories with dollars and cents, problem solving, solving problems with 2 and 3 addends, addition, subtraction, and multiplication reveiw

Science- needs of plants, weight and capacity
