Week 33 Update
Week of 4/13/2026- 4/17/2026
What's Happening This Week:
Hello, Room 103 Families!
This week has been full of new concepts, learning progression, and lots of fun!
Please see below for links to our new learning goals, spelling words, and important dates.
We have just a little over a month (and only FOUR FRIDAYS OF SCHOOL!) left until the end of the year on May 22. This is a huge time of growth for second graders. They're learning skills they'll carry with them for the rest of their lives. We must all be able to count money, tell time, and read fluently to be able to go about our days as adults. The students are solidifying their understanding of these concepts right now. It's very exciting!
Our classroom temperatures and the outside temperatures don't always match up very well! While some days are warm outside, our classroom can be quite chilly. Sending an extra layer with your child despite warm temperatures outside is a good idea. I'm usually in a sweater or long sleeves while inside!
Thank you for your partnership in your child's success. It's truly a delight to be the teacher in Room 103!
Kindly,
Becky Gillespie
🚌Field Trip!🚌
On Friday, April 24, Bradley's second graders will travel to the Deanna Rose Farmstead! We will be gone for most of the school day (roughly 8:15-2:30). Please keep this in mind, as students won't be dismissed from Deanna Rose and must ride the bus back to school.
Your child will need to bring disposable lunch items in a paper/ plastic bag for disposal. Please do not send lunchboxes or reusable water bottles on the field trip, as we don't have a way to store them.
