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.

They will only bring it home if they didn't complete it.

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.

In math, we continue to work on understanding place value

and are using it to help us count money.
