TGIF!!!!

Enjoy the long holiday weekend!!!  Please read all the papers that your child brings home nightly.  Hopefully, by the end of next week we will be fully immersed in our daily routine....sometimes it takes a while!!

Tuesday

Please have your child read the story, "Dragon Gets By" out of their reading anthology (reading book).  We have learned the necessary skills and strategies necessary for them to be fluent readers with this story.  Also discuss the pictures and what is happening in the story with your child.

In math we are learning about odd and even.  Please go over your child's math papers.  We have a new math series this year called "Go Math".  

Since it is such a hot week I am encouraging the kids to bring a water bottle to class.  They are welcome to sip on it throughout the day.

Our first spelling test will be Thursday.  I will say the word, use it in a sentence, and repeat the word.

TGIF!

It will be good for everyone to have a break this weekend!  The students were given their reading book today.  We also call this book the anthology.  We will actually start using this book on Monday.  If your child brings it home this weekend you can simply enjoy looking through it with them.  I have not taught them the lesson that goes with the beginning of the first story yet.  I will teach this lesson on Monday and continue it throughout the week.  We will read in order of stories so the first will be, "Dragon Gets By".

Also, the students are bringing home their first "Book-In-A-Bag".  The directions are located in the bags!!

Have a wonderful weekend!!!!

Thursday

We are watching a Monarch caterpillar in the classroom.  It will soon form a chrysalis.  Ask your child about it!!!

The second day of school was great, too!!!!

Our second day of school was as good as the first!!!!  We have P.E. the entire first nine weeks grading period.  If you have not filled out and sent back the emergency medical form please do so as soon as possible!!

I gave the kids a worksheet on reading a poem and writing a few words tonight at home.  Please have them complete this and bring back tomorrow!

1st day of 2nd grade!!!!!!!!!

The first day of school was so sweet!!!  Thank you for sending your child well-prepared for the first day of a great adventure!  Their homework is:  play, have a snack, play, eat supper, play, have a bath and head to bed!!!!  See everyone tomorrow!!!!
