March Media

March Sparkles- The character trait for March was self-control. Our class has been working on
controlling our actions and emotions in an appropriate manner both inside and outside of the classroom.
We have been working really hard to be in control!

Science- We are very excited to begin our Space unit this month! After learning about everything
weather related, we have moved on to learn more about the solar system. The second graders have
started gathering research about planets. We are guaranteed to be experts in no time! Be on the
lookout for a presentation in the near future!

Math- 5 cents, 10 cents, 25 cents...can you tell we have been counting money? The second graders have
just started their unit on money. A fter wrapping up measurement, we sure were tired! As we continue
learning about coins and their values we are also practicing adding and subtracting with monetary
amounts. We cant wait for our trip to the U.S. Mint!

Reading and Writing- We have been working hard to read scientific and historical articles to practice
cause and effect and sequencing events in history. We will begin another cycle of writing narratives as
we move into April.
Social Studies- As we continue to wrap-up our Womens History Month projects, we are excited to state
learning about our government including: government branches, monuments, and our nations leaders.
