Homework Reminder

Just a friendly reminder that each week students need to choose at least 3 spelling activities off the chart on the cover on the front of their packet to do (using the spelling words) AND they must do the white worksheets that are attached.  The yellow pages are optional and only need to be done if that is one of the "choices" they pick.  Please let us know if you have any questions.

Book bags will be going home on Tuesday.  They will need to come back every day with the reading log filled out by the students and signed by an adult.

Have a great three day weekend!

Flashlights

We are missing flashlights (off the class-specific supply list) from quite a few people.  You will get these back at the end of the year, but we have some fun activities planned that require a working flashlight.  Thanks!

September Calendar

Click on the link below to view, download or print our September calendar.  Just a reminder that book orders are due by this Friday.  You can use the link on the right to order online.  The jog time for second graders at the Jog-a-Thon is 10:00 am.  This is subject to change.  Sometimes they run ahead of schedule or behind and we do not have control over this.

MAPS Testing

MAPS testing began this week at school.  Here are the times that our class is scheduled to go...
  • Friday, August 22nd at 1:00- Math (all girls)
  • Tuesday, August 26th at 9:00- Math (all boys)
  • Thursday, September 4th at 9:00- Reading (all girls)
  • Thursday, September 4th at 1:00- Reading (all boys)

Homework

The first homework of the year went home yesterday.  It will be due on Friday.  The homework is starting off on the easier side in order to ease into the routine of things.  Once we pass the "review" period it will become a little more challenging and will be differentiated for students. 

The book bags will begin going home the week of September 1st.  If the book that's sent home does not take the full twenty minutes to read, please choose a second book from your home collection to read.  You are always welcome to read more than that as well. :)

First Week

We've had a great first week! It has been fun to get to know all of your children and we are looking forward to a great year.  A few things you will need to know...
  • Friday Folders have been ordered for the entire school, but they are on backorder and will not arrive until late September. Sorry for the inconvenience.  In the  meantime, we will just send home papers stapled together on Fridays.   Make sure to bring back any papers with are stamped with a "coupon".
  • Thank you to those of you who have paid the $50 supply fee.  If you need to wait to pay or need to pay us a little bit at a time please let us know.  We completely understand.
  • Make sure to send in a flashlight and the 3 black and white composition notebooks.  We would like to start using these in class soon.
  • Please send in the white info card and the bright green sheet (the last page of the big packet) that has permission for PG movies as soon as possible if you haven't already.
Thank you and let us know if you have any questions!
