February 19th Mid-Week Update...

Dear Parents and Students,

Hello! Thank you for visiting today. I hope you find some valuable information here today. I've added some new links to the bottom of the page today. One link will take you directly to the moon phases website. We've had some cloudy nights and you may need this to complete your moon phases calendar. I've also added a link called "Second Graders" that will take you to many fun second grade sites. Just click on the box for the subject area you are interested in!

We have been talking about "Greater Numbers" in Math this week. We have been working with numbers in the thousands. Below, you will find this week's extra credit assignment. Remember, when completing extra credit, I expect your personal best. This includes going above and beyond what is asked and challenging yourself in all areas including handwriting! Have fun with the assignment!
