Please join us for the Simonds School Open House tomorrow October 2nd at 6:30 p.m.! I look forward to seeing families and having your child be your "tour guide" in our classroom!
Second graders began learning about the sun, moon, and stars last week. To begin the unit, we are focusing on learning about the moon and how it appears in the sky. Through books and online resources students learned about the phases of the moon and we also took a virtual tour of the moon using Google Earth! Ask your child to share the most interesting fact they have learned about the moon and about making craters with Mrs. Stanley!
During September, children have been writing personal narratives (or true stories from their lives) during Writing Workshop. We will learn about publishing our writing for a class writer's celebration this week. Each child will choose one story to "fancy up" for publication and it will be shared with the class. Our next focus in Writing Workshop will be on revising writing pieces to make them more interesting for the reader!
