Last day of September

We will be excited for October to start tomorrow!

2-M Math Class:  Some students are still working on the chapter 2 test.  Therefore, your child has permission to bring a book from home to read during math tomorrow.  Of course, I have lots of good books for the kids to read, as well.  We will begin chapter 3 tomorrow or Friday....depending if everyone finishes the testing tomorrow!

2-M Reading Class:  We took 2 parts of the reading test today and will take the remaining 2 parts tomorrow.  The students will take the phonics and grammar parts on Thursday.  The kids also have a spelling test tomorrow and Friday.

Homeroom:  The kids are bringing home a slip about baseball sign-ups.

Cookie Dough Sale money is due Oct. 7.

Thursday

Now that we are switching for reading and math it will be the teacher your child has for reading that will be sending the spelling words home with your child, starting tomorrow.

Also, we will not all be on the same schedule for reading tests.  2-G, 2-B, and 2-F will have their reading test tomorrow.  However, 2-M and 2-S will be taking the reading test over "Diary of a Spider" on Wednesday and Thursday of next week.

Hang in there with progress book.  Kinks are still being worked out.  I'm sorry.

Also, the prize poster will be sent home with all the students tomorrow in regards to the cookie dough fundraiser.  The prize posters were in all the teachers mailboxes at the end of today.

We all have the same spelling list this week.  The words are as follows:

I hope your child is enjoying switching classes.  Our day flies by!  We truly feel each child is working within their ability in math and reading.
