We’re celebrating our hard work… view our dinosaur writing & artwork online; and come tomorrow at 6 to see & hear about the Village we have constructed & designed; you’ll also get to meet Ms. Greve, our ArtStart artist from the F.L. Wright Education Foundation!
Three ways to access our dinosaur writing:
* Go to the Student section of the Longfellow website, click on Student Projects, then click the Lambshead listing in that index.
* Go to my webpage (via Longfellow→staff→Lambshead) & see link on right
* Go to http://www.op97.org/longfellow/onlineproj/0910/Dinosaurs.html
Congratulations are also in order for our 4 Spelling Bee winners,
and for Kai, the over-all 2nd grade winner!
In both Social Studies & Reading we are learning about immigration, valuing different cultures, and holidays of our country. Learn these vocabulary words for a test on Friday: ferry, monument, independence, voyage, harbor, vendor, passenger, tossed, harmonica inspectors. This week we will read “The Story of the Statue of Liberty”, and “Butterfly Seeds”, a tender story of bringing seeds from “the old country” to feel at home in the new country. Our spelling words are homophones, words that have the same sound but different spellings & meanings (two, sea, rode, road, meet, meat, to, see, piece, fourth).
In Math we’re working to really understand fractions & their equivalencies. See below for computer games we’ll play in school & you can play after school to get ready for Fri’s test.
