Dear second graders,

We are nearing the end of the school year! About 4 weeks left. Lots of events and learning are taking place. Keep up the good work!

Congratulation on finishing your MAP tests! These test required a lot of focus and determination, well done.

Next week we will be heading to Iraq El-Amir for our final field trip. 2LB is going on Tuesday, 2R is going on Wednesday, and 2F is going on Thursday.

Here are a few things you should bring in your backpack: a hat, water bottle, money for the handicraft center, and a healthy snack. It will be very hot and sunny so might consider putting sunscreen on before you come to school! Be prepared for a lot of exploring. Safety is extremely important on this field trip. Discuss with your parents a few ways that you can be safe. *** In addition to money that you might want to spend at the hanicraft center, you will need to bring 1.50 JD for an entrance fee. Thanks for remembering to bring it! 

In math, we are continuing to use and practice strategies to solve addition and subtraction facts to 1,000. We have looked at some word problems that require us to think and solve multistep problems. It is extremely important to be flexible in our mathematical thinking which is why we have practiced many different ways to solve these problems.

In writing, we are finishing our timeline books. It has been a fun way to share our life events while teaching us that events happen in order. It’s important to put dates in order to tell our history. We look forward to sharing our books with each other. In the next month, we will continue to review the 6 + 1 writing traits that help us write detailed and interesting stories.

In reading, we continue to respond to reading by asking and answering questions. We also identify the characters, setting, problem and solution. We are also able to identify the author’s purpose for writing the story. We do all of this to understand the story better. Reading is thinking!


We are looking forward to the last month of school with you all! Keep working hard.

  1. I live in Madagascar ( East Africa),and life is worth living comfortably for me and my family now and really have never seen goodness shown to me this much in my life as I have been going through a problem as seriously as my son found a terrible accident last two weeks, and the doctors states that he needs to undergo a delicate surgery for him to be able to walk again and I could not pay the bills, then your surgery went to the bank to borrow and reject me saying that I have no credit card, from there i run to my father and he was not able to help, then when I was browsing through yahoo answers and i came across a loan lender Mr, Benjamin Breil Lee, offering loans at affordable interest rate I had no choice but to give it an attempt and surprisingly it was all like a dream, I got a loan of $ 110,000.00 to paid for my son surgery then get myself a comfortable business to help me going as well. I  thank God today is good and you can walk and is working and the burden is longer so much on me more and we can feed well and my family is happy today and i said to myself that I will mourn aloud in the world of the wonders of God to me through this God fearing lender  Mr Benjamin Breil Lee and I would advise anyone in genuine and serious need of loan to contact this God-fearing man on  ......  247officedept@gmail.com through .. and I want you all to pray for this man for me or Chat with him on whatsapp  +1-989-394-3740 as well.
    Thank you
