PTA Around the World Night this Tuesday at 6:00!

You don't want to miss PTA this Tuesday at 6:00.  Your family will enjoy Around the World Night greatly! I will even make sure this is a homework free night for your child.

If you are able to send in 18 white gift bags with handles for Valentines please email me and let me know.  Thanks!

Your child brought home a President Report last week that will be due February 21st.  This date is different from the other 2nd grade classes so much sure you go by our date.  This gives your child a little more time to prepare.  Please notice that your child is doing the work and the illustrations.  This should be a fun learning experience for your child.  Also, I have had several kids ask me if they are allowed to dress up like their President.  ABSOLUTELY! Of course this isn't required, but they are certainly allowed to for their presentation if they would like.  We have a classroom full of creative minds, so I am not surprised at all that I was asked this question.  Please feel free to let your child add any extra touches to their project and presentation. 
Please be sure to include all of the required pages for the book as well.


Story this week: I like Where I am
Genre: Narrative Poem
Phonics: Diphthongs oi, oy
Voc. Strategy: Context Clues
Comp. Skill: Theme and Plot
Comp. Strategy: Summarize
Grammar: Adverbs that tell when and where

In Math we are continuing with Money in Chapter 13.  We will be ready to test this Friday.  Please make sure your child is comfortable with the review sheet that will come home Thursday night.

If you told me you were able to send in a shopping cart for our store, please send it in by this Friday.  Thank you so much!

We have finished our study on Weight and Balance in Science and have moved back to our Science book.  Your child very responsibly copied their Science Voc. for Chapter 5 in their binder.  They have the word highlighted in yellow with the definition following.  We will begin this chapter Monday.  I wanted them to have their voc. words ahead of time. 

We are learning about past Presidents in Social Studies.  We have had the best time finding out some very interesting facts already.  For example, have your child explain to you about George Washington and his teeth, OR LACK OF, we should say! :) 

Thank you for responding so quickly to the letter that came home about our Valentine Party.  The kids are so excited! Your child brought home a list of every child in our classroom.  Please make sure they have a Valentine for each child if they are participating.  This is such a fun time for the kids!

Your child brought home a yearbook presale sheet last week.  The presale price is only good until March 23rd.

Please email me with any questions or concerns.  Have a super week!
