Happy Monday Everyone!

This week we are reading a nonfiction story called Jellies and we will be

learning about facts and opinions.  Our spelling words this week will have

the short o, u, and i sounds.  In language we continue to work on writing

sentences.

This week in math we continue to work on addition and subtraction

strategies.

We should finish up our social studies unit on maps and globes. 

Ask your child to sing the continents and oceans song for you!

Beginning today, your child will have a behavior chart in their Take Home

folder.  At the end of every day they will color their day based on where

they ended on our class behavior chart.  At the end of the month, I will

collect these, and your child will receive a ticket for every day they

stayed on green (ready to learn).  Everyone who stays on green for the

entire month will get to eat lunch in the classroom and watch cartoons

with me!  Please do not take this out of your child's folder. 

When you send lunch money to school, please put it in an baggie or

envelope with your child's name on it.

Homework:

Monday - Read and write sentences

Tuesday - Read and write sentences, math

Wednesday - Wed. folders and read

Thursday - Read Jellies and write sentences, study spelling words, math

Tomorrow is picture day!

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Have a wonderful week!

Happy Monday Everyone!

I hope you enjoyed the week-end and are ready for a full week of learning!

We are starting this week with our first reading story "Teacher's Pet." 

With this story we will examine the story structure - characters, setting,

and plot.  In language we are working on writing complete sentences and

identifying naming and telling parts of sentences.  In spelling we are working

with short -a and -i words patterns.  Your child has their spelling list in the

back pocket of their Take Home folder.  PLEASE leave it in that pocket. 

Your child needs to use their list during the week in class.  As long as your

child brings their folder back and forth to school, they will always have

their list at home at night to study.

We are continuing our first unit in math with a focus this week on addition

and subtraction strategies.

In social studies we are exploring maps and globes.

Homework:

Monday - Read and write sentences

Tuesday - Read and write sentences, math

Wednesday - Wed. folders, read

Thursday - Students will bring their reading books home to read from this

week's story and write sentences, math, study spelling words

On Friday we will have our first reading, phonics, and spelling tests.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Have a wonderful week!

Happy Monday Everyone


Well we didn't make it outside today, but they enjoyed playing games in the
classroom!


This week we continue to build our reading stamina by practicing our
independent reading.  We made it to 9 minutes today.  Our goal is to be
able to read independently for 20 minutes.  We can do it!


We are starting homework this week.  Your child will have a green
reading sheet in their Take Home folder.  They will need to read for 15 minutes
three nights this week and then write 3 quality sentences about what they
read.  I don't want them to copy sentences from the book.  Just in their
own words tell me what they read.  They can read from any book they
like.


We will have math homework on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday this week.


Please turn in all blue forms for t-shirts by Wednesday.


Please let me know if I can help your child in any way.


Have a wonderful week!

Welcome to 2nd grade!

I am so excited about this school year!  We have so many fun and exciting things happening in 2nd grade this year, including a wonderful new math program and we get to learn cursive writing!  It is going to be a great year!

Just a little information to get the year started.  We will have a snack in the mornings around 10:30 since our lunch is not until 12:10.  Please keep these snacks simple and easy as we will only have 5 minutes for snack.  Please do not send messy snacks such as fruit cups, pudding, and nuttella.  My suggestions would be fruit, granola bar, crackers, cheese, pretzels, or something similar.

We have P.E. on Thursdays so please make sure your child wears their athletic shoes on this day.

Many of you were not able to take the parent survey during registration night.  There is a link on the ILE website if you would please take a few minutes to complete this it would be greatly appreciated.

I look forward to a fantastic year.  If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know!
