It was an eventful, short week in 2.1 this week!  It seems that some sickness has been making its way through our classroom.  Please take extra care this weekend! I pray that everyone will be back to good health by Monday and be able to join us!

This week we began working on our Student Led Conference Portfolios.  We have been reflecting on our learning and looking at how we can improve in each subject area.

In Writing this week, we finished our Final Copy of our Ocean Animal Research Papers.  I am so proud of the students' hard work on these papers and I am excited to read them and see what they have learned.  For Math, we started Unit 7 which focuses on patterns.  We were able to learn some new Math games as well to help us practice our Math facts.  In Bible this week we learned about Jesus healing a deaf and mute man and how Jesus feed 4000 people with only 7 loaves of a bread and a few fish.

This week we also began our learning and practice for Kid's City! We studied the Police Station today and learned what kinds of things happen there.  Every week, we will be learning about a new place leading up to our Kid's City in April.  More information will be coming soon about ways that you can help and be involved with this fun 1st and 2nd grade event!

Important information for this week:
