Happy Monday!

There will be no homework this week other than preparing for

our Holiday Around the World presentations.  We had some

wonderful presentations today and I look forward to the presentations

the rest of the week!

Our class party will begin Friday at 10:30 and we will

dismiss from school at 11:30.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week!

Happy Monday Everyone!

I hope everyone enjoyed time with your families during

Thanksgiving.  It is hard to believe we only have three

weeks left for this semester!

This week we are reading the story Schools Around the World.  The

skill we will focus on is identifying the main idea and the details of

the passage.  Our spelling words have the long a sound using -ai and

-ay.  In language we are learning to write friendly letters and then

we will write a letter to Santa!

In math we are working with graphs and then we will begin our

unit on measurement.

Don't forget our field trip to see Charlotte's Web is Thursday.  We will

have an early lunch in the classroom and will depart the school at

10:45. Because we are eating early, everyone must either bring their

lunch, or purchase a sack lunch from the cafeteria.  You indicated your

preference when you filled out your field trip paperwork.  If you are

unsure what you selected, please let me know.  We should have our

field trip t-shirts tomorrow.

Second grade does a social studies unit on holidays around the world.

Your child will pick a country to learn how they celebrate winter holidays.

If their is a country of special interest to you and your family, please talk

to your child about that tonight.  We will pick our countries tomorrow.

I will send home the requirements for the project tomorrow.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Have a wonderful week!

Happy Monday Everyone!

This week we are reading about animal habitats from our science books.  We will be reading from these chapters for two weeks, therefore, there will not be a reading test this Friday.  We will focus

on text features and comparing and contrasting.  In language we will wrap up our unit on nouns

this week with a test on Thursday.  We will have a review on Thursday and it will come home Thursday night so that you can review with your child.  Our spelling pattern this week is consonant digraphs th, sh, wh, ch, tch, and ph. The spelling test will be on Friday.

This week we are moving into Unit 3 in math, Addition and Subtraction within one hundred.  It will include making graphs, solving story problems, adding and subtracting 2-digit numbers using strategies, and representing addition and subtraction on a number line.

Friday is ILE's annual fall parade.  Information is coming home with your child today about the parade.  Please do not wear any costumes to school.  They should be brought to school and we will change into them

before the parade.  Your child should be able to put their costume on by themselves.  Please practice

this at home.  The parade will begin at 2:00 and our fall party will be immediately following.  Students may be checked out early from our classroom.  There will be a sign out sheet in my room.

Homework:

Monday:  Read a book and complete the book report sheet.  This is due by Friday.

Have a wonderful week!
