Native American Project
Native American Project
Due Date: Monday, November 12th
Second Grade is starting a Native American Unit in Social Studies. In class we will be learning about the Powhatan Indians, the Pueblo Indians, and the Lakota Indians. The students will learn about where the tribes were located in the United States, the food that they eat, the homes they built, the clothing worn, and the transportation used.
Today the students were given a project to be completed at home and will have 3 weeks to complete it. Students need to pick a Native American tribe, research that tribe, complete the booklet on the tribe, make a three-dimensional representation of the tribe, and then present it to the class
Students were given a packet today with a list of Native American tribes to choose from. You may choose a tribe not on the list. The three tribes we ask that you not select are the Powhatan, Pueblo, or Lakota because we will cover these tribes extensively in class.
Projects and booklets will be on display at the Second Grade Native American Performance on November 15th at 8:30am.

Cartoonist Visit
On Monday, October 15, 2018, Cartoonist Duane M. Abel, creator of the comic strip ZED will be visiting Pinebrook Elementary. Duane will be at our school presenting Draw Your Destiny. This program teaches children how to establish goals, learn to love reading, and the value of education.
We are asking that ALL students and staff wear PINK on Monday. ZED is pink and we can welcome Duane by wearing his favorite color.
Reflex Math
Remember 60 mins of Reflex Math is due each Friday. It can be completed at anytime over the weekend and throughout the week. It's helpful to set a timer since there is no timer on the actual program. Even though it's on the computer, this assignment is considered part of each students homework.
Water Bottles:
If you're not already doing so, please begin to send a water bottle to school each day with your child. We do NOT have an in-class water fountain. The kids get tired and thirsty over the course of our day, and water goes a long way toward helping them stay energetic and attentive.
