2nd Grade Update
* Hands on Art
– Our next project, Plans in Perspective, will
teach students some history of design styles in
architecture, as well as perspective drawing technique,
and will end with a guided drawing lesson. We will need
a lot of extra hands to help with this project. If
you are able to assist with this project on Wednesday,
2/24, at 10:00 am, please let me know.
* Guest Reader: Gig Harbor Police Chief Davis,
Officer Dennis, and their special police dog, Mar, came
for a visit last Thursday. Chief Davis read Officer
Buckle to us, and Officer Dennis shared how a police
dog is trained and what some of Mar’s official police
duties are.
* Math – We have been collecting, organizing, and
analyzing data. After conducting surveys, we have used
bar graphs and line plots to organize our data. Then we
analyzed our results to learn about our classmates in
MAP.
* Writing – We wrote a procedure for making a
peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Students learned the
importance of writing clear explicit directions and
organizing their steps using “time order” words such as:
first, next, then, after that, finally, etc.
* Music Appreciation - We learned about the brass
family in the orchestra from Mrs. Cushner and listened
to several pieces which featured the following
instruments: trumpet, trombone, tuba, and French horn.

Show your Orca spirit today by wearing black and white! |

When you’re reading aloud for Read and Lead,
practice reading fluently…”just like a movie star!”
Have fun reading with EXPRESSION! Remember to pause
when you come to a comma, stop and take a breath when
you come to a period, raise your voice when you see a
question mark, and read with enthusiasm when you see an
exclamation point!
Use your comprehension strategies while your
read to help you understand and remember what is
happening in a story. Tell your parents what you
visualize, find clues in the story that help you
infer how a character feels, and predict will
happen next. |
