"C" is for chalk!

"E" is for exercise!

"F" is for favorite book character!

"F" is also for flashlight reading!

"G" is for game day!

In-house science field trip about space!

Our visit to Pre-K today!

Next WEEK, WE will LEARN...

Reading
- 2.RL.1 Ask and answer such questions as who, what, where, when, why, and how to demonstrate understanding of key details in a text.
Writing
- ELAGSE2W3 Write narratives in which they recount a well-elaborated event or short sequence of events, include details to describe actions, thoughts, and feelings, use temporal words to signal event order, and provide a sense of closure.
- ELAGSE2L1.f Produce, expand, and rearrange complete simple and compound sentences (e.g., The boy watched the movie; The little boy watched the movie; The action movie was watched by the little boy).
Grammar
- ELAGSE2L2.b Use commas in greetings and closings of letters.
Phonics
- ELAGSE2RF3 Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words.
  - suffix (-ly)
Math
- Unit 2.6 - On Level - Please click here for the unit 6 parent letter.
  - MGSE2.MD.10 Draw a picture graph and a bar graph (with single-unit scale) to represent a data set with up to four categories. Solve simple put-together, take-apart, and compare problems using information presented in a bar graph.
  - MGSE2.OA.3 Determine whether a group of objects (up to 20) has an odd or even number of members, e.g., by pairing objects or counting them by 2s; write an equation to express an even number as a sum of two equal addends.
  - MGSE2.OA.4 Use addition to find the total number of objects arranged in rectangular arrays with up to 5 rows and up to 5 columns; write an equation to express the total as a sum of equal addends.
    - We will take a major assessment over these standards next week.
- Unit 3.3 - Advanced - Please click here for the unit 3 parent letter.
  - MGSE.3.OA.8 Solve two-step word problems using the four operations. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.
  - MGSE.3.OA.9 Identify arithmetic patterns (including patterns in the addition table or multiplication table) and explain them using properties of operations. For example, observe that 4 times a number is always even, and explain why 4 times a number can be decomposed into two equal addends.
  - MGSE3.MD.3 Draw a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar graph to represent a data set with several categories. Solve one- and two-step “how many more” and “how many less” problems using information presented in scaled bar graphs. For example, draw a bar graph in which each square in the bar graph might represent 5 pets.
  - MGSE3.MD.4 Generate measurement data by measuring lengths using rulers marked with halves and fourths of an inch. Show the data by making a line plot, where the horizontal scale is marked off in appropriate units – whole numbers, halves, or quarters.
  - MGSE3.MD.5 Recognize area as an attribute of plane figures and understand concepts of area measurement.
  - MGSE3.MD.6 Measure areas by counting unit squares (square cm, square m, square in, square ft, and improvised units).
  - MGSE3.MD.7 Relate area to the operations of multiplication and addition.
    - We will take a major assessment over these standards next week.
Sciences
- S2E3.b Construct an explanation of the causes and effects of a change to the environment in your community.
  - We will take a minor assessment over this standard next week.

UPLIFTING UKRAINE

As a school community, we would like to collect items that are currently needed by Ukrainian refugees in Romania. We are partnering with One Heart Church in Norcross who will ship the donated items overseas. If you would like to contribute, here are the items currently needed:
