Hello Second Grade Families!
The Second Grade Team will be participating in a number of community service projects this holiday season to support our Community Unit. To get into the spirit of giving, we need your help with one of our projects! Our second grade classes will be holding a food drive, so we are asking students to bring in non-perishable canned goods to their classrooms that we will donate to local food pantries.
Before donating the food, second graders will sort, count, and solve math problems that involve the amount of cans we receive. Our data will be used to solve multi-digit addition and subtraction problems. We have been working so hard to learn strategies for solving these types of math problems and it will be a wonderful opportunity for them to put those skills into practice. Having real-world purpose applied to our math and social studies units will make for an exciting and rewarding wrap-up to these units of study!
Cans will be accepted until Tuesday, December 19th. Thank you so much for helping us with this great cause and real world learning experience!
Sincerely,
The Second Grade Team
