Hello Parents,

What a beautiful day start our week!  We thoroughly enjoyed

recess today!

This week we are reading from our science books about matter! 

Our spelling words have the prefixes re- and un-.  In language

we are writing to make our sentences come to life!  Math is

all about geometry!

For a math activity that is coming up we need a few paper towel

cardboard tubes or toilet paper tubes.  Each student will need

a 4 inch section.  If you can send those in over the next week

that would be very helpful!

Also, does anyone have a die-cut machine that would be willing

and able to cut paper for a math lesson that is coming up in a

couple of weeks?

Homework: 

Monday - Wednesday - Read for 15 minutes and write a paragraph

in your reading journal.

Wednesday - Wed. folders

Thursday - Study spelling words and read from science book

Have a wonderful week everyone!

Mrs. Kane

Happy Monday Everyone!

If you would like to purchase school pictures or Field Day t-shirts,

this is the week to do it!  You child is bringing home information

in their Take Home folders to day about both.

This week we are reading Dex: Heart of a Hero.  The skill we will

focus on is comparing and contrasting.  Our spelling words have

the suffixes -y, -ly, and -ful.  In language we are focusing on

narrative writing.  We will continue our geometry unit in math.

Homework:

Monday - Wednesday:  Read for 15 minutes and write a paragraph

each night in their reading journal.  Turn the reading journal in on Thursday.

Monday - Math

Tuesday - Math

Wednesday - Wed. Folders

Thursday - Read Dex: Heart of a Hero and study spelling words

Have a wonderful week!

Mrs. Kane

Welcome Back!

I hope everyone enjoyed their week of Spring Break!  Now it is time

to finish this year strong and get these kiddos ready for 3rd grade!

Students are bringing home their school picture proofs in their

take home folders.  If you would like to purchase pictures, please

return the order form this week.

This week we are reading a story "My Name is Gabriella."  This is a

story about a teacher and a poet.  We will be writing some of our

own poetry this week!  Our spelling words are homophones.  In math

we continue our unit on geometry.

Our homework this week will consist of reading and writing

about what we read in our new reading journals.  Students

should read each night Monday - Wednesday and then write

about what they read in their journals.  They can retell what

they read, tell me something funny they read, did they learn

something new, did what they read remind them something

that happened to themselves or something they read about

in another book.  They should have the date and the title of

what they read at the top of the page.  They can use 1 page

per entry to write a paragraph consisting of at least 5 sentences.

These will be turned in on Thursday morning.

On Thursday, they will read this week's story and study their

spelling words.

I hope you have a wonderful week!

Mrs. Kane

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

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.
