Happy Spring Everyone!

This week we will not have a reading or spelling test.
We will wrap up our unit on adverbs with a test tomorrow
and will begin our focus writing for this quarter which
is narrative writing.  In math we will continue our unit
in geometry.

The only homework I am asking of the students this
week is to read for 15 minutes each night.

I hope everyone enjoys their spring break.  When we come
back we will only have eight weeks of school left!  How did
that happen???

Have a wonderful night,
Mrs. Kane

Happy Monday!

It was so good to see so many of you on Saturday for the Pow Wow!
Thank you for coming out in support of our wonderful school.  We
couldn't do it without you.

Friday is picture day!  If you would like to order a class picture, you
must preorder and prepay for it.  The form is coming home in your
child's take home folder.

There will be no reading or spelling tests this week since we are
having Quarterly Assessments four days this week.  We will be
working on our Market Day preparations after our assessments,
as well as math. 

In math we are working on extending patterns.  Later this week we
will begin our unit in geometry.

Most students were able to finish their math homework in class today.
They will only bring it home if they didn't complete it. 

Homework:
Monday - Read for 15 minutes, math if not completed in class
Tuesday - Read for 15 minutes
Wednesday - Wed. folders, read for 15 minutes, math if not
completed in class
Thursday - Read for 15 minutes

Have a wonderful week!

Hello Parents!

I just wanted to thank everyone who has volunteered to bring
in drinks and baked goods and volunteer your time on Saturday!
The Pow Wow is always a lot of fun for everyone.

I also wanted to bring your attention to some very special auction
items that will be available on Saturday.  First, Ms. Nutter (Riley's Mom)
took a very special picture of our class today that you will not want
to miss!  Also, the second grade teachers host a pool party after
school gets out, June 9th from 6-8 pm.  We provide pizza and
and other goodies.  It is always a good time! 

See you soon!
Mrs. Kane

Happy Monday!

I am so excited about the Pow Wow this Saturday!  I look forward to
seeing all of you there.  Thank you so much for volunteering your time
to help our school!

Looking ahead:  Next week we will be giving the Quarterly Assessments
to our students.  Please make sure your child gets a good nights sleep
and a good breakfast each day next week!

This week we are starting our economics unit called Market Day.  This
will be a fun experience for everyone.  While learning about goods,
services, producers, consumers, bartering, trading, taxes, and budgets      
students will have the opportunity to have their own business right here in
class.  They will decide if they are going to provide a good or a service
and whether they want to work alone or with a partner.  You will receive
a letter in your child's folder today that will help explain. Our Market Day
will be on Friday, March 18th!

We are reading from our Social Studies book this week to go along
with our Market Day unit. In language we continue our unit
on adverbs and we will work on opinion writing.
Our spelling words have the er, ir, ur pattern.  While in math, we continue
to work on place value and money.

Homework:
Mon. - Read and write  sentences
Tues. - Read and Write sentences
Wed. Wednesday folders and read
Thurs. - Read and write sentences, study spelling words

Have a wonderful week!
Mrs. Kane
