Magic Show

Just a few things...

Just a reminder that the 2nd Grade Honor's Program is Monday, May 20th at 10:00. 

If your child will not be at school on the last day, which is May 23rd, please send a self addressed stamped envelope so the office can mail your child's report card. 

I can't thank you all enough for such a wonderful, successful year in 2nd grade.  I am amazed at the growth I have seen in each child in Room 124.  I have no doubt that your child is so successful because of the support you provide at home.  I can't wait to see what the future holds for these amazing world changers!

2nd Grade Honor's Day Program is May 20th at 10:00

2nd Grade is going to be entertained by a Magic Show this Wednesday.  I am hoping everybody is well and at school, I don't want anybody to miss the fun!

We will be taking one last Benchmark test for the year this week in Reading. 

Please make sure your child has plenty of paper and pencils for their day.  If the pencils are already sharp that helps even more with our morning routine.  The line gets a little long at the pencil sharpener before the bell rings. 

All library books had to be returned to the library Friday.  If your child happens to have one at home, please send it in Monday.  

Story this Week: Cowboys

Genre: Narrative Nonfiction

Phonics: Suffixes -ness, -less

Voc. Strategy: Word Structure

Comp. Skill: Cause and Effect

Comp. Strategy: Graphic Organizer

Grammar: Commas in Compound Sentences

In Math we will continue with our Chapter on Shapes. 

Please make sure your child has their homework copied down and in a safe place.  I have not been able to update my schoolnotes page for the past two weeks.  I have emailed them the problem but it hasn't been resolved yet.  Your child should have homework copied down and in their binder, along with their spelling words.

Please email me with any questions you may have.

Have a SUPER week!

Museum - Thank you Mrs. Brown for the pictures!

Busy, Busy Bees in Room 124!

We have so much to do before school is out! Please remember to check your child's binder daily, and to stay updated with homework etc.  If for some reason your child has forgotten their homework assignment, you may always refer to the schoolnotes page.  It will also have the spelling words for the week if you need them. 

ARMT testing for the upper grades will begin this Wednesday.  Please keep that in mind.  Your child needs to be on time in the mornings so the testing schedule isn't slowed down for 3rd -5th grade.  We want everything to go smoothly for them.  They can't begin testing until the building is quiet and everybody is in their classrooms. 

VERY IMPORTANT: The lunchroom is not taking checks for the rest of the school year.  If your child needs money in their lunch account, they must bring cash.  Please put it in an envelope or bag with your child's name on it and their lunch number.  I want to make sure the money all goes to the right place. 

STAR reports came home Friday in your child's binder.  You may keep these.

This Monday I am going to send home your child's last timed Math Drill.  It was going to count as a grade, but I am leaving it out because we have more than enough Math grades.  I did want to make sure that you saw how your child did.  They were timed for 5 minutes.  I am attaching a letter for you to sign.  Please return the letter, but not the math drill.  I can't stress enough the importance of your child practicing these math facts. 

Story this Week: A Birthday Basket for Tia
Genre: Realistic Fiction
Phonics: Syllables -tion, -ture
Voc. Strategy: Context Clues
Comp. Skill: Draw Conclusions
Comp. Strategy: Summarize
Grammar: Using Commas

2nd Grade Honor's Program will be May 20th at 10:00. 

Please let me know if at any time you would like to sit down and discuss the progress of your child.  I am available. 

Have a SUPER week!
