It’s hard to believe we are finishing our second week of second grade! We have a wonderful class, and they are
quickly learning all of our routines and procedures.
It was great to see so many of you Back to School Night. I
appreciate all your support, and I will email a volunteer schedule soon.
If you wanted to volunteer and didn't get to sign up, just send me an
email. If you didn't return the green disclosure statement yet, please do
so as soon as possible.
We jumped right into Reading Streets, and we've learned about
communities and outer space. In math we are working on addition and
subtraction, especially story problems. We used the link at the right called eManipulatives to make up our own story problems. We are doing rotations for
content enrichment at the end of each day. Our class is currently
studying geography with Ms. Wilson.
We have been reading books by Kevin Henkes. Some of our
favorites are Chrysanthemum, A Weekend with Wendell, and Lily's
Purple Plastic Purse. Check out the link to his website on the right. You might also want to look for his books at the
library.
Thanks for helping your child remember to bring back her or his
homework today. Please keep track of the
minutes your child reads on the reading calendar. It is fine to read
extra one night if another night is busy, as long as the student reaches the
goal at the end of the month.
The work from this week is going home in a red take-home folder.
Your child can use it each week to bring home his or her papers, but I
will not collect it.
Our book order is due next Friday, September 6. Online orders
are quick and easy and earn us extra books for our classroom. There is
also a greater selection online. Of course,
regular orders are fine, too. If you order online, use our class code
GYPDT.
I appreciate you signing your child's planner every night.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks
for all you do!
