reading party

Our class has just won our first Class Reading Party. It will be Tuesday from 2:00-3:00. Your child may bring a pillow, a book, and a stuffed animal. Please no sleeping bags, blankets, toys, or food.

It's Fall!!

Good morning! We are having a great time outdoors now that the weather is changing. Please don't forget to send a jacket with youir child. It's chilly at morning recess.

We are loving PE!! We used the scooters for the first time last week. Who knew they could be so much fun.

We have finished our mapping unit in Social Studies. Our next unit will be Health.

We have lots of exciting events coming up. On October 7 we will participate in a Fun Run. October 9 finds us doing our Walkathon. The Fall Class Party will be on October 30th from 2-3 pm. The Room Moms will be calling for volunteers for all of these events. More information will be going home with your child as well.

Good morning!

Parent-Teacher conferences went very well. If you have any additional concerns please let me know.

We have been emailing our Trucker buddy Nicole. This is lots of fun and we are learning geography as we do it. Ask your children about Franz and Snickers and about the McDonalds that is shaped like a UFO.

We are also learning how to use Microsoft Word in the classroom. We are working on a surprise to be announced later. Also, your children have learned how to be "Safe" on the internet.

Our mapping unit is going well. We have learned the oceans and the continents. Also we are learning to read Map Keys.

Reading Groups start Monday!

Good morning! It was another awesome week here in 2nd grade!

We are improving our mapping skills. Ask your child how they remember where North, South, East, and West are located.

Math groups have started. If your child has me or Ms. Stokes for math, they should be occasionally bringing math homework home. 2nd grade is all about following, and reading, directions. We've had many discussions in class about doing exactly what the directions ask.

Homework packets are due Friday morning. Please send them back in the Homework Folders. The Reading Journals are due daily. Each child gets 1 point daily for having written in their journal the night before. You will see a -1 (in red) if the day's reading wasn't completed when the journal was brought in to me.

The children love art, music, and pe. If you have a special talent in these areas that you would like to share, please let me know.

As soon as reading groups start, I will be asking for parents to work in the classroom. So keep watch in your child's backpack!

There is no school on Monday.

Have a super 3 day weekend!
