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!
