This week in social studies we will begin talking about our 2nd grade economics project....The Flower Pen Factory!!!! We will come up with our very own factory name, sign, and make our sample pen. Please be on the look out this Thursday for a note to come home discussing our flower pen factory. This is one of the most memorable times for our second graders this year.

In science this week we will be learning about rocks. We will do a few different experiments this week using rocks. Students may either bring a rock from home or a rock they find here at school on our playground. ***The only thing we ask is that it is smaller than their fist. We will also read in our National Geographic about different "Tall Towers," that are found around the world and how they might have been formed.

In Reading we will be reading books by the author Doreen Cronin, such as Diary of a Worm, Diary of a Spider, and Diary of a Fly. We will work on comprehension skills and how to read this special style of writing. We will also write our own diary this week in class.
