Off to a Great Start!

WOW! What a busy, super week we had! We are off to a great start in 2nd grade! If you haven't signed up for one of the cluster conferences this Tuesday or Wednesday, I sent a letter home with your child to let you know the available slots left.  I will send everyone a reminder Monday just in case you have forgotten your time.  It is extremely important that you attend so you will know exactly what to expect in 2nd Grade.  If you need to change your time just send me an email and I'll be happy to change it for you.

In your child's binder there is a spelling list for all of the spelling words that go with Unit 1.  This Friday your child will have a spelling test on the week 1 words.  Every Monday we will have a pre-test.  If your child makes an A on the test, they are exempt from the test on Friday.  This Monday I am going to use the pre-test more as a teaching time to show the kids exactly what is expected on a spelling test.  Most of them haven't had spelling test before, so this is a new concept for them.  We will go slowly as we learn. 

Our library day is going to be every Wednesday.  We will discuss books and reading ranges in our conferences this week.

Please help your child work on learning their lunch number.  If your child was at Blount last year the number is the same. 

Pease check your child's binder nightly.  If I ever send something home for you to return you will always find it on the Return to School side in your child's binder. 

Remember that the kids can buy a Nancy's Ice every Monday.  They just need to bring $1.00 if they would like to buy one.

If I have a parent that would like to sharpen a ton of pencils for us, please send me an email and I will send them home with your child, or give them to you at your conference.  Thanks!

Story this Week: Iris and Walter
Genre: Short Vowels
Comp. Skill: Character and Setting
Comp. Strategy: Predict

Please notice the important dates to the right of this blog. 

I am looking forward to the conferences this week.  Only one parent needs to attend unless you both just want to be there.  Please remember that the conferences are just for parents.  Email me with any questions you may have.  Have a SUPER week!

WELCOME TO 2ND GRADE!

 

I loved meeting each of you that were able to attend Meet the Teacher Day on Thursday! What a fantastic year we are going to have in 2nd Grade!

 

 

The only homework your child will have this week is to return all of the paperwork that will be coming home on Monday, along with the 20 minutes of reading each night.  We will have Nancy's the first day of school.  If your child would like it, the cost is $1.00.

 

 

Parents, if you haven't signed up for a slot to come to a cluster conference the second week of school please email me so we can get you signed up.  This is just a one time conference to introduce you to 2nd Grade and everything you will need to know to make this year successful. 

 

Can't wait to see my 2nd Grade Friends Monday!
