Dear Parents -

This week we are reading Jellies pages 337-353 in our reading book. With this story we

are learning about fact and opinion.

Our spelling words are short -e, -i, and -o words.

In language we are starting our unit on nouns.

In math we are studying addition strategies. Please be practicing math facts at home. We

will begin taking math speed drills this week to help build our fluency. That's a fact is a great website to use to practice math facts http://www.harcourtschool.com/activity/thats_a_fact/english_K_3.html​.

We were very excited to see most of our caterpillars are now chrysalises!

Homework this week:

Monday - read for 20 minutes and write 3 complete sentences, math addition worksheet

Tuesday - read for 20 minutes and write 3 complete sentences

Wednesday - Wed. folders, read for 15 minutes (no sentences)

Thursday - Read for 20 minutes and write 3 complete sentences, study spelling words

**Please send the green homework paper to school each day so that I can check that homework

has been done. On Fridays it will be turned in to me.

If you have any questions, please let me know!

Have a wonderful week,

Mrs. Kane

Hello Parents!

I think your children would agree that we had a great first day of 2nd grade! During math

we got to have m&m's. We all got a skittle for waiting nicely in the halls. We got to

share fun facts about ourselves with our friends, listen to stories, color, go to recess and

art! What's not to love about 2nd grade!

We do not have our actual "Take Home" folders yet. So today your child is bringing home

a yellow folder. Inside you will find their behavior calendar and an explanation of that

calendar. Please review this with your child, initial the calendar and send it back tomorrow.

Everyone did a fantastic job of being here by 8:15 and getting our day off to a great start - thank you!

I hope you have a great night with your 2nd grader because I had a great day with them!

If you have any questions please let me know.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Kane
