2nd Grade Newsletter

We had such a wonderful and exciting week in 2nd grade!

In Math, we had so much fun exploring 3D shapes! Students have been identifying faces, edges, and vertices while building and investigating real-world examples of these shapes.

In Writing, we’ve been busy revising, editing, and publishing our Expert Writing pieces. We have experts on such a wide variety of topics — from making forts on a rainy day, to martial arts, sports, and more! It’s been such a joy to see students write passionately about things they love and know so much about.

In Social Studies, we learned about important people in our community and how Prosper has honored them by naming schools after individuals who have made a positive impact. We also learned about inspiring historical figures such as Irma Rangel, Thurgood Marshall, and the Navajo Code Talkers.

In Science, students had hands-on fun experimenting with tuning forks and water to explore how sound travels through vibrations. They loved being able to see, feel, and hear sound in action!

We wrapped up Red Ribbon Week with so many fun activities and important lessons. We especially loved “clowning around” with the Fire Clowns today while learning all about fire safety.

What a fantastic week of learning and fun! Have a safe and wonderful weekend!
