Wax Museum Update!

The students have been working hard on their research and memorizing their speeches for the Living Wax Museum. They are very excited to show off their hard work!  We can't wait to see you on Monday, May 22nd at 9:30!

Gym day change!

Just a reminder, gym will go back to our normal Monday schedule starting right after vacation.  Please make sure your child wears sneakers to school on Monday, May 4th.  Have a great vacation!!!

Having fun with measuring!

We have been learning about measuring using the metric system. The students had tons of fun using a tape measure to find items around the school that were less than one meter, about one meter, and more than one meter!

Winter Fun!

It has been very busy in class and we have been working hard to keep a routine with all these snow days happening!  In math, we have finished our unit on bar modeling and have moved on to multiplication.  We are learning that multiplication means equal groups and is the same as repeated addition.  (The children are learning that 5X3 is the same as 5+5+5)  After multiplication, we will move on to division!  In reading, we are beginning our Unit called "Look Again!"  We will be reading lots of non-fiction text, especially about animals and how they use camouflage to survive.  In Social Studies we will begin talking about two very important presidents, Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.  Day 100 of school is just around the corner! We are having fun and learning lots in Room 22!

Spelling Test

Due to the snow day Monday and the late start yesterday, there will be no spelling test this week!

Fishways presentation!

Fire Safety!

Today we were lucky enough to have the Hooksett Fire Department come talk to our class about Fire Safety.  They talked to us about their fire equipment, calling 911 and we even got to tour an ambulance!  As a class we talked about the importance of knowing our address and phone number in case of an emergency as well as having a fire evacuation plan at our homes.  Please have this important conversation with your child to help keep them safe! :)

Spelling

Due to Mrs. Cassedy being at a Social Thinking conference Monday and Tuesday and having Open House tonight (Wednesday), there are no spelling words or spelling test this week! Enjoy! :)

September Fun!

There has been lots of learning and fun in room 22!  We have adjusted well to our class routine and have made lots of new friends!  In reading, we are reviewing long vowels and reading stories involving Kindness.  We have talked lots about what kindness looks like both in and out of school. The children have also been learning about nouns and action verbs.  In math, we have finished our unit on Place Value and have just begun adding 3 digit numbers without regrouping.  Starting midweek next week, we will be adding regrouping in addition.  Studying math facts during this time with your child is imperative for their success in this unit!  Keep filling out those reading and math logs each school night!  I am looking forward to seeing you and your child at Open House/Book Fair/Ice Cream Social on Wednesday night! :)

Welcome to Second Grade!

Welcome to Second Grade! I am very excited to get to know both your child and you!  If you ever have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at mcassedy@sau15.net or send a note in with your child.  It is very tricky for me to check my voicemail throughout the day.
 It is going to be a year of lots of learning and fun! - Mrs. Cassedy :)
