The last day of April is here...according to our 200's chart, there are 32 more school days left. Wow...the year has flown by!
Here are some thoughts from the student today...
Evan appreciated how Sami was nice when he scored a goal during soccer and Sami was glad that Evan stopped what he was doing on the playground to join him in his soccer game!
Aoife enjoyed learning new information we about the grasslands of the world!
Madeline was glad when Katie, Ave, Riley, Lainey, and Kira let her join their game at recess.
Grace thanks Peter for teaching her how to play bump at recess.
Lainey appreciates that Aoife taught her how to play Mancala during choice time.
Aoife believes Hannah is a good friend because she lets other people choose the game!
The students will be thinking about how they will share their knowledge of the grassland biome tonight and be ready for their project work tomorrow.
Have a great day!

Monday April 29- Book Order Info
Hi Everyone! I hope you enjoyed a sun filled weekend!
Book orders went home today. This is the last opportunity of the school year to order books through Scholastic. Our on-line ordering code is L6VB8. This is the easiest way to order and you get a free gift when you do. Please order by Friday, May 3. Thanks!
For homework this week, please take time to help your child read and research more about the animal they have chosen for their animal research report. Thanks!
If you can, please donate some glue sticks to the classroom. We have had a busy, creative year and we are OUT of glue sticks! A big thanks if you can help in this way!
From the students:
Aoife enjoyed art and poetry writing.
Ava liked learning the new math game: Anything But 1. We have been learning games to help us understand probability in mathematics.
Evan complimented Peter for being a great partner during choice time.
Have a great day!!

Dear Room 13,
Today was a great day of creating! We had lots of fun assembling our polar habitat projects and narrowed down our animals for research.
Student compliments today:
Maddy thanked Aoife for being kind during recess when asked to play together.
Cole recognized that William was a good sport when he lost during the math game.
Evan saw that Sami was flexible when he couldn't be his partner during math centers, and Sami enjoyed playing with Maddy instead.
Announcements:
Tomorrow is my last day (Mrs. Tracy). I want to thank you all for having me and I have loved being a part of this community at Duniway. You have amazing, and talented young learners. It was a joy to to teach them as well as learn from them. Thank you.

Dear Second Grade Families,
We are excited to begin our habitat and animal unit. Each student should be thinking about and deciding upon an animal that they would like to spend the next 4-6 weeks researching and writing about. This animal needs to be specific and unique, something they do not know a lot about. Example: Blue ringed octopus, tiger shark, etc. They can choose! Also, we are encouraging bringing in materials, books, and or research done from home to enhance learning of specific animal. Today we learned about Antarctic and Arctic Polar regions.
Student Compliments:
Cole thanked Peter for sharing glue stick and materials during math fraction creating.
Della thanked friends Aoife, Catalina, and Riley for playing with her on the playground. They were thoughtful and made her feel welcome.
Peter complimented Bailey for helping share knowledge during math, and figuring out the fraction pieces.
It was a wonderful sunny day of learning! See you tomorrow!
