Thank you Drew for a wonderful presentation!  The Weapons of Ancient Egypt was a fascinating topic for the class to hear about.  You did an excellent job.

Advent:

Our second grade class is having a lovely time gathering around the CCS Advent Calendar each day.  It is exciting to talk about our great need for a Savior.  We can see how each story on the calendar points to a God that fulfills promises and provides for his children.  



We will begin Christmas activities and crafts this week!  

Spelling:

Spelling packets will go home tomorrow and we will have tests on Friday morning.

Vocabulary:

Keep up the good work on the vocabulary words!  The children love to memorize and recite the definitions and are quizzing each other during free time in class.  I love it!

Grammar:

We are discussing contractions this week.  It will reinforce your child's learning to look for contractions in everyday surroundings.  

Mr. Popper's Penguins:

We love this book!  Right now we are sequencing events from the first half of the book and next week we will begin discussing characterization.  We will have a final project over the book after Christmas.
