I can create the highest and lowest numbers using a set of digits and my knowledge of place value.
I can prove that a number is even or odd and explain my thinking.
Science: Matter and Materials
I can classify matter by observable physical properties, including texture, flexibility, and relative temperature, and identify whether a material is a solid or a liquid.
I can investigate how physical properties can be changed through processes such as cutting, folding, sanding, melting, or freezing.
I can demonstrate that small units such as building blocks can be combined or reassembled to form new objects for different purposes and explain the materials chosen based on their physical properties.

I can create a "Who Was ___?" poster using a technology resource.
I can explain what characteristics of good citizenship that my important person displays, and share information about their contributions to society.

TAGT Parent Webinar: 6:30 p.m. | September 23, 2025
One of the most challenging things about raising gifted children (as if it’s not hard enough), is when that child has a neurotypical peer. Sibling relationships can be one of the more protective factors for children developing appropriately socially, emotionally, and physically, so it is a variable that needs to be treated with care and intention. This presentation will focus on how to manage the relationships between gifted and non-gifted siblings with emphasis on communication, navigating asynchronous development across peers, and setting internal expectations. This presentation will offer concrete, usable strategies for parents to use to help their children feel safe, seen, and supported. Learn more and RSVP for the event by clicking on this link.
Take a look at the video below that discusses the importance of your "ordinary" thoughts or ideas. It is such a great lesson on grit and a growth mindset for our kids!
Ms. Bell's class has library on Wednesdays this year and Ms. Herrera's class has library on Tuesdays. 2nd graders can check out two books at a time, and should bring books back to check out new ones before library the following week. Thanks for your help in making sure books come back to school. Better yet, make a habit of storing the library books in your child's backpack so they are always there!
As a reminder, we have two snack times during the day. Please be sure to send nut-free (NO PEANUTS OR TREE NUTS) snacks. Please remember to put snacks in your child's backpack and not in their lunchbox. We send lunch boxes down to the cafeteria early in the day, so it's important that snacks are left in backpacks in the classroom. Thank you!
We would like to provide additional support at school if your family is experiencing difficulties at home.
If your child is coming to school after a difficult night, morning or weekend please email me with the words "Handle with Care." Nothing else will be said or asked. This will let me know that your child may need extra time, patience, or support during the day.
We have the most INCREDIBLE PTA here at Glenhope. Please check out their website to learn more!
