Hello Parents!

I hope your week is off to a great start!

This week we will be giving the Quarterly Assessments for ELA,
Math, and Writing.  It is very important for your child to be
here and to be on time.  Because of the time it takes to
complete these assessments, we are moving our weekly reading
test to Monday.  Your child will still bring their book home on
Thursday to read the story.  We will still give the spelling
and phonics assessments on Friday.

Thank you to everyone who came out Friday and stood in the rain
to cheer us on during Warrior Walk!  We had a great time.  A little
rain didn't dampen their spirits or their drive to run!  Please turn
in all Warrior Walk packets by this Friday.

This week we are reading Click, Clack, Moo Cows That Type.  Our spelling
words have final blends of nd, ng, nk, ft, xt, and mp.  We are continuing
to learn about nouns.  In math we are learning place value and some
measuring.

Homework:
Monday - Reading and writing sentences
Tuesday - Reading and writing sentences and math game with worksheet -
they only need to return page 51 completed
Wednesday -  Reading and Wed. folders
Thursday - Reading and writing sentences, study for spelling test

If you have not requested a Parent-Teacher conference time, I have just a
few spots open.  Please let me know if you would like a conference.

Have a wonderful week!

Happy Monday Everyone!

This week we are reading the chapter on Animals from our science
book!  Our focus will be on how text features help us understand
what we are reading. Our spelling words all have consonant blends using r, l, and s.
We continue to learn about nouns in language.

In math we continue to work on adding and subtracting with larger
numbers and measuring.

Most of our caterpillars are now in a chrysalis!  We are so excited to
watch their transformation!

Don't forget this Friday is Warrior Walk!  We will be walking from 1:25-1:55.
Our class color is light blue.  We want to wear as much light blue as we
can.  However, hair color is not allowed.  Your student is bringing home a
Warrior Walk form in their Take Home folders.  This needs to be returned
by Wednesday.

If you haven't turned in your request for a parent-teacher conference, please send
those in as soon as possible.

Homework:
Monday - Reading and writing sentences, math
Tuesday - Reading and writing sentences
Wednesday - Wed. folder and math
Thursday - Read Science book chapter 2, lessons 5, 6, and 7, write sentences and
study spelling words

Have a wonderful week!

We are so excited to start our Life Cycle of a Butterfly unit.  This is
always a favorite of all second graders.


This week we are reading Henry and Mudge and our skill is sequencing
and inferring and predicting.  Our spelling words have the long o, u, and e
sounds.  In language we will begin our unit on nouns.


We are beginning our second unit in math where we will be counting,
adding, and subtracting large numbers, as well as measuring length.


Homework:
Monday - Read and write sentences, math game/worksheet
Tuesday - Read and write sentences
Wednesday - Wed. folders and read, math
Thursday - Read Henry and Mudge and write sentences, study spelling words
Friday - I will be sending home math homework.  HOWEVER, it is not due until
Tuesday!!!  If you wish to complete it and turn in on Monday that is fine.  But you
may choose to have your child do it on Monday and turn in on Tuesday.


A look ahead.....  Second grade will be going to see the play "Charlotte's Web"
December 3rd.  Be on the look out for more information later this month.


Have a wonderful week!

Hello All!

Welcome back from our long weekend!

This week we are reading a short text titled "Moths."  This is not located
in our reading book, but rather a copy of a text from ReadWorks.  Every
student has their own copy that we are highlighting important information
on.

Our spelling pattern this week is long a and long i words.  We will be wrapping
up  our first unit in language with a test over complete sentences, naming parts,
telling parts, statements, questions, commands, exclamations, beginning
sentences with capital letters, and ending with punctuation.

In math we continue to learn strategies for adding and subtracting.

Homework this week:
Tuesday:  Read and write sentences, math
Wednesday:  Wed. folders, read
Thursday:  Read "Moths" and write sentences, study spelling words

Mark your calendars for Warrior Walk - Friday, September 25th! 
We hope you can join us!

Have a wonderful week!
Mrs. Kane
