November!
I can't believe it is already November! This year is flying by. We had a great week last week with our Chilli Supper and book fair. Thanks to all that came out to support our school. We also had a great day Friday celebrating our favorite book character. The parade and party were a lot of fun! This week in Reading we will be doing a nonfiction unit on bats and will be taking our Unit 2 test. I am sending home a new Math Homework page. Please help your child keep and eye out for this paper. We will be doing this page instead of the saxon page some weeks. Also, we all now have new AR goals and levels. Please encourage your child to read books they can AR test on during the day. They sould be bringing home library books they can read to test on! An average of one test a week is a great way to start! I hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween! Hello November!!!
Fall Fun
I hope everyone had a great Fall Break! This Friday is our Fall Pay Day incentive. Please ask your kiddos about what they earned! Also, Friday is the Fall Fest and 5K walk/run. Come on out and join the fun! Next Monday is the Chilli Supper and Book Fair. If you still need tickets they are on sale! Please send in items for the "BE A CHEF" 2nd grade raffle basket if you have anything extra. Fall Parties will be on October 30th. The children may also dress as their favorite book character for the day! We will be taking the Star Reading test again to get new AR goals and levels. Please encourage your kiddos to do their very best!
Johnny Appleseed
We had a lot of fun Friday afternoon watching a short video about Johnny Appleseed, eating an apple, and working on an apple math page with our friends from Mrs. Lengacher's room! A special thanks to Lynn Knepp for volunteering to come in and help out! I will be having surgery Tuesday, Septmember 29th and will be gone until after Fall Break. Mrs. Karen Slaven, a veteran 2nd grade teacher, will be here for me while I'm gone. You may still email me with any major questions because I will be checking it as much as possible. However, if it is a dismissal change or something that needs immediate attention please call in to the room. Thanks and have a great week!
Great Week!
We had another great week in 2nd grade! You will be seeing the Unit 1 Tests soon. Please go over with your child what they missed. We are doing that in the room as well. Always encourage slowing down, looking back in the text, and doing our best. If anyone has any questions about the test or grades please let me know! We will be talking about Johnny Appleseed on Friday and will celebrate our September birthdays. If you want to send anything in let me know!
Review Week!
This week is a review week in reading! We will not have a new story in the reader and will not have a spelling list. If you want your child to bring thier reader home they may do so but I will not be telling them to put them in their backpacks. Keep encouraging them to read and AR test. They should be halfway to their goal by the end of the week. They can test at school on books they've read at home. Keep working on addition facts. Brody has passed his addition and is now working on subtraction! Way to go!!
Happy Labor Day!
Wow! This week flew by! I just wanted to let everyone know that I will be in training a couple days next week. I will be in the building so I will check in to see how everyone is doing. During PAWS Reading time last week we videoed book talks on the chapter book we've been reading. We then used the Aurasma App so we can go back and listen to ourselves read using an image of the front of the book with our name on it. If you stop in, or download the app on your device, you'll be able to hear too! Keep practicing those addition facts at home. The goal is to get 36 correct in 1 minute in order to move on to subtraction. Also, feel free to send water bottles with your children on these hot days. They must be already filled. Have a great week and let me know if you have any questions or concerns!
Great Week!
We had a great week last week and enjoyed celebrating our August birthdays! If your child has a September birthday we will celebrate on the 25th. We can have treats as long as we also have something healthy. When the date gets closer, let me know if you wish to send something in. Encourage your kids to read and AR test as much as possible. Mrs. Chezum is giving some really awesome AR prizes!! In second grade comprehension is really the focus. Try to make sure your child is listening to that "thinking voice" as they read! We do not have school on Monday, September 7th!
Information!!
Last Friday we finished our rural and urban area posters. We were learning to cooperate in groups and listen to each others' ideas. Then, we gave oral presentations to the class. I have pictures of the project under the "Photos" tab. Enjoy! This Friday we will celebrate the August birthdays! The Spelling Circle Test will be given on Wednesdays and the Written Test on Fridays. We will take the Weekly Reading Test and the Grammar Quiz on Fridays also!
We had a great week last week! We ended our week "buying" items from the class store with our money we earned for the week! For 50 cents your child can play educational games on an IPAD after morning work!! Small pieces of candy and mechanical pencils were also prizes! Money is given for Super Second Grade behavior!
First Days of School!
We had a great two days of school! We made a "Friendship Snack" and learned about a positive classroom environment! We also read "Stand Tall Molly Lou Melon," made a craft, did a writing activity, and ate watermelon. We also did our "Math About Me" activity that I hope you all enjoyed!!
